II. Risk items

(I) Risk factors

1.  Within the last year and as of the printing of this prospectus, the effects that annual interest, exchange fluctuation, and inflation rates have on the profits and losses of the company as well as the future response measures

(1)  The effects that annual interest have on company profits as well as the future response measures:

The Company and its subsidiaries have made appropriate flexible adjustments with regards to the cash position required for the company's operating activities. The financial costs for the first three quarters in 2015 and 2016 were respectively NT$2,312,143,000 and NT$1,746,585,000, accounting for 0.82% and 0.88% of the net operating income for the year. These results suggest a minimal impact of interest rate on company profits. In future, we will continue to closely monitor the trends of interest rate and to employ low-interest financing instruments and beneficial interest rate conditions in order to maintain minimal financing cost and active credit limit. Subsequently, interest rate risks that are likely to occur in business operations can be averted.

(2)  The effects that exchange fluctuation have on company profits as well as the future response measures:

The Company and its subsidiaries conduct hedging by adopting natural hedging in conjunction with low-risk and safe hedge targets. The net profits on foreign currency exchange for Q3 in 2015 and 2016 were respectively NT$(713,213,000) and NT$2,235,621,000, accounting for (0.25)% and 1.13% of the net operating income. This suggests that the profits were not affected by exchange fluctuation. In future, we will pay attention to the global economy and changes in exchange rate and focus on reducing the risks of exchange rate variations as our main management practice.

Concurrently, we will also deliberately examine how the company allocate its funds and mitigate the effects of exchange rate fluctuations as a means of effective management.

(3) The effects that currency inflation have on company profits as well as the future response measures:

Currently inflation did not exert a material impact on the profits of the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition to closely monitoring price fluctuations in the market, the Company and its subsidiaries will maintain a positive interactive relation with their suppliers and customers and appropriately adjust product selling price and stock inventory. These efforts should be able to effectively mitigate the impact of currency inflation on the Company and its subsidiaries.

ASE overcomes this challenge by cooperating with customers and vendors to meet customer demands, reduce costs, mitigate risks, continuously observe market pulse, and maintain a closer interaction with customers to identify their needs and changes in their needs. Subsequently, we actively gathered and analyzed market information to alleviate the technological impact of changes in product requirements.

Customer competitiveness and the timing to launch a new product are the key to the success of introducing a new technology. ASE responds to this trend by monitoring market trends and supply/demand conditions, taking the lead to develop key technologies and patents according to market trends and product blueprint of benchmark customers in order to ensure a leading technological status. ASE also reduces R&D costs by ensuring that the process of product development is compatible with existing production equipment to provide customers with the best solution when new products are launched in the market.

(3) According to our experience in the R&D and innovation of new technologies, we found that R&D expenses and new core facilities are a critical component of these processes. Therefore, we respond by ensuring consistency between new technologies and ASE’s future blueprints, and by actively forming strategic alliance with customers to implement resource sharing and ultimately reduce R&D risks. ASE regularly visits its leading customers, participates in technological seminars, and works with benchmark customers to collectively plan product blueprints and product regulations that ensure that R&D technologies can facilitate meeting customers’ delivery deadline.

The anticipated benefit of such acquisition is that ASE (Shanghai) Inc. can directly obtain the funds of ASE Electronics (Shanghai) to improve its financial structure and lower operational cost, which positively influence the net value per share and earnings per share of ASE (Shanghai) Inc..

(4) In September 2015, the Company acquired 779,000,000 ordinary shares of SPIL at NT$45 per share and 10,650,000 depositary receipts, each recognized as 5 ordinary shares. This accounts for a total shareholding of 24.99%, which has a major effect on SPIL. Between March and April 2016, the Company acquired ordinary shares in SPIL on the open market using NT$13,735,498 in cash and 258,300,000 depositary receipts (each recognized as 5 ordinary shares), increasing the shareholding ratio from 24.99% to 33.29%.

In response to the future development and sustainable management of the semiconductor industry, the Company received approval from the Board in June 2016 to enter a share exchange agreement with SPIL. The Company will submit application to setup an ASE Investment Holding (hereafter referred to as “ASE Investment”) and to engage in share transfer with SPIL so that the ASE Investment will obtain 100% share ownership to ASE and SPIL. The consideration of such share transfer is to exchange one ordinary share of ASE for 0.5 ordinary share of ASE Investment, and one ordinary share of SPIL for cash of NT$55 (adjusted to NT$51.2 following earnings distribution in 2016).

As of the date of printing of this prospectus, the share transfer will be performed in accordance with the collective share transfer agreement and still requires multiple prerequisite conditions before it can be achieved (including but are not limited to the approval of shareholders’ meeting of the Company and SPIL, and the approval or consent of relevant competent authorities for this transaction). Unless otherwise agreed by the Company and SPIL, if the aforementioned condition cannot be met or has been exempted before December 31, 2017, then this agreement will be terminated automatically.

Because of the aforementioned collective share transfer agreement, the Company will handle its existing treasury stocks and converted equity corporate bonds that have been issued by adopting the following principles:

A. For outstanding 3rd overseas non-guaranteed convertible bonds that are issued by the Company, unless these bonds had been redeemed or repurchased and canceled or the bond holder has exercised his/her conversion right before the base date of the share transfer, the holder may, after the Company has obtained the approval of competent authorities, convert these bonds into newly issued ordinary shares of ASE Investment on the base date of share transfer in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the consignment agreement of these bonds, and the conversion ratio.

B. To support the issuance of the 4th overseas non-guaranteed convertible bonds, the Company has repurchased treasury stocks for conversion before the share transfer base date, converting them into shares of ASE Investment on the basis of the conversion rate. These shares will be held by the Company, and the conversion rate specified in the share transfer agreement will be adjusted as the conversion price for overseas non-guaranteed convertible corporate bonds.

C. Before signing the collective share transfer agreement, ASE Investment will fulfill the Company's obligations as of the share transfer base date with regards to the issued stock options that are approved by the competent authorities. The price and quantity of share transfer shall be changed to new ordinary shares of ASE Investment in accordance with the adjustment of conversion rate and object of contract execution. The remaining issuance condition and original issuance condition shall be identical. However, the specific method of execution shall be conducted by the ASE Investment following relevant laws and regulations and the instructions approved by the competent authorities.

8. Within the last year and as of the printing of this prospectus, expected benefits and possible risks of factory expansions as well as the response measures

Because the growth of the semiconductor market presented an optimistic prospect, the Company and its subsidiaries anticipate that the magnitude of growth in 2016 will exceed that of 2015. Regarding investment, to adequately and effectively utilize existing production capacities, the Company and its subsidiaries have increased their production capacity in the past few years to an extent that they can now fulfill most of their orders. To improve the return rate and reduce investment risks, the Company and its subsidiaries focused primarily on our existing production capacities and equipment as well as investments in new equipment in order to boost market growth. In addition to using new plants, we will incorporate new investments into consideration depending on the actual market demands.

9. Within the last year and as of the printing of this prospectus, the risks of concentrated procurement or sales as well as the response measures

(1) Overly concentrated procurements easily disrupt the supply process because of

    production or quality abnormalities and also weaken suppliers' bargaining power. The Company and its subsidiaries have formulated policies for diversifying their suppliers of direct material and machinery equipment in order to identify the few alternative suppliers (2nd source) who can concentrate on supply resources and materials. Regarding the source of supply in a foreign oligopolistic market, we actively fostered domestic suppliers with potentials in technological R&D to disperse risks and reduce costs.

(2) The Company and its Subsidiaries were not involved in matters relating to concentrated sales.

10. Within the last year and as of the printing of this prospectus, the effects and risks that large-number transfers or replacements of directors, supervisors, or major shareholders holding over 10% of the company's shares have to the company as well as the response measures:

Within the last year and as of the printing of this prospectus, there were no large-number transfers or replacements of directors or major shareholders holding over 10% of the company's shares.

11. Within the last year and as of the printing of this prospectus, the effects and risks that operating rights changes have to the company as well as the response measures

In the most recent year and as of the printing date of this prospectus, the Company has never changed the operating rights.

12. Other important risks and response measures: None.

(II) Litigation or non-litigation events

1. Finalized judgments or pending litigations, non-litigations, or administrative disputes for the company in the last two years until the printing date of this prospectus whereby the results may have major impacts to the shareholders' rights or share prices

(1) The Company received a statement of charge from Taiwan Kaohsiung District Court in November 2015. The charge involved SPIL appealing to the Court for confirming the non-existence of the Company's right to request for being listed as a shareholder in the shareholders' roster of SPIL. Because SPIL did not pay the court fee by the specified deadline, the Taiwan Kaohsiung District Court dismissed the lawsuit, thus imposing no material influence on the consolidated financial status and financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries.

(2) Kaohsiung City Government Environmental Protection Bureau (hereafter referred to as "EPB") fined the Company NT$102,014,000 (referred to as "Fine") for violating the Water Pollution Control Act. The Company filed an appeal against the said Fine and the appeal was dismissed by the Kaohsiung City Government. Subsequently, the Company filed an administrative lawsuit with the Kaohsiung High Administrative Court to request the Kaohsiung City Government to withdraw the decision and the Fine and to request the EPB to return the fine that the Company has already paid. The Kaohsiung High Administrative Court provided a ruling on March 22, 2016 to withdraw the decision and the Fine and to dismiss the remaining appeal (i.e., request for refund of the fine paid). On April 4, 2016, the Company lodged an appeal against the part of the ruling that negatively affects the Company. The case is currently being reviewed by the supreme administrative court.

Kaohsiung District Prosecutors Office filed a lawsuit against the Company in January 2014 for violating the Waste Disposal Act, and the Taiwan Kaohsiung District Court fined the Company NT$3,000,000 for violating Article 47 of the Waste Disposal Act. The Company appealed against the ruling in accordance with

legal procedures. The Taiwan High Court Kaohsiung Branch reached a verdict on September 29, 2015, ruling the Company not guilty.

2. Finalized judgments or pending litigations, non-litigations, or administrative disputes associated to the company's directors, supervisors, General Manager, responsible person, or major shareholders holding over 10% of the company's shares in the last two years until the printing date of this prospectus whereby the results may have major impacts to the shareholders' rights or share prices: None.

3. Company directors, supervisors, managers, or major shareholders holding over 10% of the company's shares have involved in matters described by Article 157 of the Securities and Exchange Act as well as the status of the case currently handled by the company within the last two years and as of the printing of this prospectus: None.

(III) Company directors, supervisors, managers, or major shareholders holding over 10% of the company's shares have involved in financial turnover difficulties or suffer credit losses within the last two years and as of the printing of this prospectus; and the effects on the company's financial conditions must be specified: None.

(IV) Other important issues: None.

(5) Dividend policy and implementation status

1. Dividend policy according to the Articles of Incorporation

ASE is now at the stage of steady growth. To provide ASE with the funds it needs to expand and satisfy shareholders' desire for cash inflow, ASE adopts a Residual Dividend Policy. With which, cash dividends shall not fall below 30% of all dividends, with the remainder distributed in the form of stock dividends. Dividend distribution proposals shall

53

be drafted by the board and approved by the AGM before they are implemented.

2. Previous discussions regarding dividend distribution for the current year

The Company’s shareholders' meeting passed a resolution on June 28, 2016 to distribute a shareholder dividend of NT$12,476,779,033 in cash at NT$1.6 per share. The above distribution of dividends to shareholders and the cash and stock dividend distribution rates are calculated based on the number (7,797,986,896) of shares recorded in the Register of Shareholders as of March 23, 2016 after treasury stocks that were already bought back by ASE were subtracted. If at a later date ASE’s ECB holders exercise the right of conversion, or new shares are issued to employees against Employee Stock Option warrants, or new shares are issued by ASE for cash increase, or there is a buyback of ASE’s stock, or transfer or cancellation of ASE’s treasury stocks, which affects the cash distribution rate of the shareholders’ bonus, requiring adjustment, the management has requested the shareholders’ meeting to authorize the Chairman to handle the situation and make adjustments accordingly.

(6) Effect of the proposed stock dividends in the current year on company operating performance and earnings per share: Not applicable.

(7) Remuneration of employees, directors and supervisors

1. Percentages or ranges of remuneration of employees, directors, and supervisors under the Articles of Incorporation:

According to Article 23 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, if there is surplus profit, the Company shall set aside 5.25% to 8.25% (both inclusive) as compensation to employees and no more than 0.75% (inclusive) as remuneration to the directors; However, if the Company has accumulated losses, the Company shall set aside a part of the surplus profit first for covering the losses.

Regarding the aforementioned employee remuneration, the 5.25% portion shall be distributed to all employees in accordance with the employee remuneration distribution rules, while the portion exceeding 5.25% shall be distributed to individual employees (having special contributions) in accordance with the rules made by the Board of Directors with the authority granted hereby. Where employee remuneration is distributed in the form of stock or cash, it shall be resolved by a majority vote at a meeting attended by more than two thirds of the directors and shall be reported at the shareholders' meeting.

Employees referred to in the three subparagraphs include employees of subsidiary companies that meet certain conditions, which are to be prescribed by the Board of Directors. According to Article 23-1 of the Articles of Incorporation, ASE’s net profits each year after the actual budget shall be distributed in the following order:

(1) Make up losses.

(2) Allocation of 10% as the legal surplus reserve.

(3) Allocation or reversal of a special surplus reserve in accordance with laws or regulations set forth by the relevant competent authority.

(4) Addition or deduction of the portion of retained earnings that are equity investment gains or losses that have been realized or measured at fair value through other overall gains or losses. The remaining balance shall be added to the previous-year undistributed earnings, and the Board of Directors shall devise a dividend distribution proposal, which shall be submitted to a meeting of shareholders for resolution.

2. Basis for estimating the amount of remuneration of employees, directors and supervisors, basis for calculating the number of shares to be distributed as employee remuneration, and the accounting treatment of the discrepancy, if any, between the actual distributed amount and the estimated amount, for the current period:

Estimations of employee remuneration and director remuneration payable for 2015 shall be

54

respectively calculated according to 8.25% and 0.75% of net profit before tax (in which employee remuneration and director remuneration have not been deducted). Handling of the difference: The difference was recognized as changes in accounting estimates at the time the board passed the resolution. In case of a significant change to the amounts approved by the board of directors after the year has ended, the change is applied to adjust the expenses in the year in which they are recognized. If the amount still changes after the day the financial statements are passed, it shall be treated as changes in accounting estimates and entered into accounts in the following year.

3. Remuneration proposals passed by the Board of Directors None.

4. Remuneration report and results at the shareholders meeting

(1) To pay remuneration of employees, directors and supervisors in cash or stock. In case of any discrepancy between the amounts and the amortized estimates for the year, the differences, reasons, and responses should be disclosed.

The Company passed a resolution at the meeting of the Board of Directors on April 1, 2016 and at the shareholders' meeting on June 28, 2016 to distribute NT$2,033,800,000 (all in cash) as employee remuneration and NT$ 140,000,000 as director remuneration. The difference between the amount to be distributed and the combined amount of employee remuneration of NT$2,033,937,757 and remuneration to directors of NT$184,903,432 is NT$45,041,189. Handling of the difference: The difference was recognized as changes in accounting estimates at the time the board passed the resolution. In case of a significant change to the amounts approved by the board of directors after the year has ended, the change is applied to adjust the expenses in the year in which they are recognized. If the amount still changes after the day the financial statements are passed, it shall be treated as changes in accounting estimates and entered into accounts in the following year.

(2) The percentage of remuneration of employees to be paid in stocks out of the sum of the net profit after tax and total employee remuneration for the current period: Not applicable because employee remuneration for 2015 was distributed in cash.

5. Any discrepancy between actual distribution of remuneration of employees, directors and supervisors (including the number of shares, the amount and stock price) and the recognized remuneration of employees, directors and supervisors and disclosure of the differences, reasons and responses:

Earnings distribution plan and actual distribution of remuneration for 2014 passed in the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on June 23, 2015:

(1) The actual distribution of employee remuneration was NT$2,335,600,000 and director and supervisor remuneration was NT$211,200,000.

(2) The difference between the amount actually distributed and the combined amount of employee remuneration of NT$2,335,785,851 and remuneration to directors of NT$212,344,171 is NT$1,330,022.

Reason for the difference: Accounting estimate adjustments.

Handling status: The difference was recognized as changes in accounting estimates at the time the board passed the resolution.

Gartner revised the sales value of the global semiconductor market for 2016 in October 2016 to US$ 331.8 billion, which reflects a decline of only 0.9% compared with the US$334.8 billion in 2015. This is due to a drop of 11% in the

71

memory market, including a fall of 20% in DRAM and a growth of 2% in Nand flash memory. Smart cars, electric cars, and the Internet of Things (IoT) will drive the development of semiconductor components in the direction of further miniaturization and low power consumption, leading to a rise in demand for semiconductors. The value is predicted to reach US$350.1 billion in 2017 (5.5% growth), US$365.1 billion in 2018 (4.3% growth), and US$372.6 billion in 2019 (2.1% growth). It is estimated that the scale of the global semiconductor market in 2020 will approach US$384.3 billion.

Forecasting of the global semiconductor market

 

Source: Gartner; IEK (2016/11)

According to IEK's estimation, the semiconductor industry in Taiwan will produce an output of NT$2.43 trillion with a growth of 7.5%. In particular, the output of the design industry was NT$660.1 billion, a growth of 11.4% over 2015. This is mainly due to China's policy of subsidizing smartphones, the entry of memory control IC manufacturers into the global production chain, and panel driver IC manufacturers increasing their production output in high-resolution panels for LCD televisions. The output of the manufacturing industry amounted to NT$1311.7 billion, a growth of 6.6% from 2015. This was mainly due to an influx of orders from advanced processes into the wafer foundry industry, as well as a fall in demand for computer IT products and its subsequent influence on the memory industry. The output of the packaging industry amounted to NT$461 billion, a growth of 4.46% from 2015, with the output of the packaging industry and IC testing industry at NT$322 billion and NT$139 billion, respectively, a growth of 3.9% and 5.8% respectively compared to 2015. This was mainly due to a recovery in demand for advanced packaging among advanced semiconductor processes.

Note: (e) Estimates 

Source: TSIA, WSTS, IEK (2016/11)

According to the evolution of the output value of the IC industry in Taiwan in 2016, foundry service (accounting for 46.6%), IC design (accounting for 27.1%) IC packaging and testing (accounting for 18.9%) were the three main pillars of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry. Looking forward to 2017, economic recovery will drive demand in semiconductors, with associated growth in output for smartphone chips, PC chips (including Type-C), and SSD driver ICs. New applications such as vehicle ICs mean that IEK has predicted that the production output of Taiwan's semiconductor industry will grow by 7% in 2017, in which the output of the IC packaging (IC testing) industry will reach NT$343.5 billion (NT$153.3 billion), which reflects a growth of 6.7% (10.3%) compared with that in 2016. In summary, the IC packaging and testing industry in Taiwan will continue to growth 7.8% by 2017, thanks to a recovery in demand and a rise in the proportion of high-end packaging and testing products..

‚Overview of the electronic assembly product industry

The electronic assembly products of the Company and its subsidiaries fall under the electronic manufacturing services (EMS) category, also referred to as electronic contract manufacturing (ECM) or professional electronic OEM service. EMS refers to the provision of a service or multiple services other than brand sale service, including product development and design, material procurement, production and manufacturing, assembly, and after-sale service. EMS mode is classified into EMS and ODM depending on the scope of service, and EMS and ODM are collectively known as design manufacturing service (DMS). At the present stage, electronic domains generally define EMS and ODM modes differently, which are described in the table below.

Category	Service Scope
	Product Concept	R&D Design	Material Procurement	Production & Manufacturing	Logistics	Brand Sale	After-sales service
EMS	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes

73

Category	Service Scope
	Product Concept	R&D Design	Material Procurement	Production & Manufacturing	Logistics	Brand Sale	After-sales service
ODM	Autonomous or Joint	Autonomous or Joint	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes

Note: DMS providers generally offer services that are free of product concepts, whereas ODM service providers with particularly strong R&D capability provide services that incorporate product concepts.

In summary, DMS is the collective name given to a series of service modes, including product R&D design, product testing, material procurement, production and manufacturing, logistics, repair and maintenance, and other after-sales service, that are provided by electronic product brand owners. Concurrently, because manufacturing service providers and brand customers generally specify their service scope and specific requirements by entering a contract agreement that integrates framework agreement and order forms. Therefore, DMS (including EMS and ODM) is also incorporated in the scope of the manufacturing agreement.

Unlike OEM, EMS provides global transports and global assembly services. With such a global advantage, EMS can engage in production activities in a region without having their imports/exports being withheld by customs, and this advantages saves them from tax costs. Moreover, a global assembly plant and a global transport system can expedite the rate of assembly and delivery processes. In other words, EMS providers can perform optimally in terms of speed and cost. Thanks to its close relationship with part manufacturers (satellite system), EMS providers generally integrate related upstream part manufacturers (by merging or forming a strategic alliance) to further minimize their operation and procurement costs. The global supply chain has increased to a greater scale. To shorten the time required to deliver products to the end consumer market, OEM industries have also extended their supply chain globally. In other words, EMS providers have evolved from offering point-to-point service to a comprehensive support service that facilitates increasing their core value among their competitors.Forecasting of the global EMS income

Source: MMI, 2016/06

The global EMS industry grew rapidly in 2013 by 10.7% and then increased by 8% in 2014, after which it experienced a slight decline of 2.4% in 2015 primarily due to the decrease in demand for computer products. In the long run however, EMS remains highly potential, particularly in non-traditional outsourcing applications such as industrial applications, medical industry, automobile, national defense security, and aviation industry. According to the 2016 report published by NVR, the global EMS/ODM income was predicted to reach US$430 billion in 2015, and increasing to US$580 billion by 2020. This suggests an annual compound growth of approximately 6.2% between 2015 and 2020.

(2) Relationships with suppliers in the industry's supply chain

Packaging and testing industry:

In the entire semiconductor supply chain, the Company and its subsidiaries are primarily responsible for supplying materials needed for midstream packaging and testing and downstream packaging. The Company and its subsidiaries offer customers wafer packaging and testing services for semiconductors, purchases wafers primarily from internationally acclaimed semiconductor companies, and maintains a favorable long-term relation with these companies. By vertical division of labor, we are able to enhance our competitiveness as well as that of our strategic alliances and partners.

‚EMS industry:

The upstream vendors of professional EMS providers primarily include material producers who specialize in PC boards, integrated circuits, other electronic components, etc. Their efficiency, quality, and price of material supplies will, to an extent, influence the delivery cycle, product quality, and price competitiveness of the EMS provider. The downstream vendors include brand owners who are involved in wireless network communication, household appliance, computers and servers, data storage, smart handheld devices for industrial use, commercial

75

sales, automobile electronics, etc. The changes in the demand of the downstream vendors directly influence the development and profitability of the EMS industry.

EMS industry needs to build a long-term, stable supply chain cooperative relationship with upstream suppliers and downstream brand owners. Through the integration of the entire supply chain resources, relationship coordination, and process optimization, a win-win outcome for members of the supply chain can be realized. Their value addition and competitiveness hinge on the intensity of their relationship with upstream and downstream vendors, and therefore these two factors a strongly associated with each other.

 

(3) Product development trends

Packaging and testing products

End electronic products have slowed in growth rate because of the increasing prevalence of electronic products ranging from personal computers smartphones. The next killer wave application that will dominate in the next 5 to 10 years is believed to be Internet of Things (IoT), in which the smart electronics will be the source of future business opportunities.

Compared with the billions of dollars of demands for semiconductors in computers or mobile devices, their demands in IoT will reach hundreds of billions. The market estimated that the world will have 30 billion internet-connecting devices by 2020, contributing to approximately US$1.9 trillion in value for IoT applications. Such tremendous opportunity has instigated intense competition among vendors around the world. A wide variety of smart applications, including smart city, smart car (Internet of Vehicles), smart home, smart medicine (telecare), smart individual (health and fitness), smart plant, and smart manufacturing, have been developed. In the future, the challenges that the IC industry will face are determining a method by which to extend PCs and mobile phones to other smart electronic applications, products, technologies, and markets.

76

Unlike the previous single killer end-application market, IoT cannot only focus on a single process or product. Instead, it seeks diversity in industrial characteristics, while focusing its semiconductor technologies on advanced, mature process technologies and integration capability. The IoT will therefore induce a revolutionary change in the development of the global IC industry.

The emergence of IoT steered the semiconductor component technology toward process miniaturization, second-generation communication, sensor integration, and high-order multi-visual computation, and in-memory operation. These aspects can serve as a basis for deducing the future orientation of core technologies and new applications as the IoT applications become prevalently used in the semiconductor industry. Regarding product demand, IoT products must feature heterogonous integration and ultra-low power consumption. These characteristics can disassemble IoT products into components that are lightweight, that feature lengthy battery life, and that can connect to the Internet while consuming minimal power.

The development of high-spec, low-cost mobile devices has become a trend. The ability of these devices to integrate diversity of functions is now a basic function contributing to a continual increase in SiP demand. This function will attract increasingly more vendors to invest in the R&D of SiP in 2016, which will gradually orient SiP technologies toward a generation that prevalently uses IoT applications.

Hardware development must be based on semiconductor components and sensor communication interface in order to improve the quality of life for humans. These components include processor, analog IC, communication IC, memory, and sensors, and relevant technologies comprise ultra-low power and SiP technologies, which subsequently enable the integration of different functional wafers in single miniaturized packaging bodies.

To enhance performance and reduce power consumption, the market tends toward stacking the processor with memory devices during packaging because this approach can achieve reduced area, reduced power (short path and minimal impedance), and increased transmission speed (shortened electronic transmission path). This method therefore resulted in the development of 3D IC and TSV technologies, which are aimed at connecting stacked ICs for heterogeneous integration of vertical stacks.

Under the developing trend of end products (e.g., IoT and wearable devices), hardware systems have transformed from previously large devices (e.g., PC) into mid-sized mobile phones and subsequently into smaller wearable devices (e.g., smart watch). Such system miniaturization restricted the use of spaces in hardware packaging. Multiple functions and limited space led to the rise of SiP applications, such as the S1 chip in Apple Watch. Specifically, embedded technologies for substrate-embedded wafer or passive components are characterized by small area, effective heat dissipation, and reduced noise signal, which make them an excellent tool for utilizing the added function of substrates during SiP process.

In addition to embedding wafers in the substrate to achieve reduced area, developers can place wafers on top of a passive component to make use of space. The semiconductor embedded in substrate (SESUB) of TDK technology is one example of this approach. Therefore, the Company engaged in a joint venture with the Japanese firm TDK to introduce embedded technology in SiP. The goal was to combine SiP with embedded board technology and to enhance yield rate. Attributed to its outstanding performance in saving space, electrical property, and

77

heat transfer, embedded boards became the top choice for developing IoT SiP technology, thereby serving as the basis for future end IoT products.

Looking ahead of the future, the next opportunity for the semiconductor industry will come from the Internet of Things (IoT). 2016 will be the year in which IoT is upgraded to Smart IoT level. At the CES show, large firms all focused on the Internet of Everything, striving toward an Internet of Life. International semiconductor firms have shifted from emphasizing high-performing wafer hardware technologies to stressing the importance of innovative living applications and a perfect user experience. Their product applications are concentrated on smart cars (autonomous driving and driverless concepts), unmanned vehicle, smart home, wearable devices, virtual reality, and robots. With their advantage in technologies as the core, large firms will target the three major technologies required for IoT systems, namely, smart computing, smart sensing, and smart transmission. Furthermore, they will attempt to build an open industrial ecology in which interconnecting platforms are established for seeking strong, powerful partners.

Another aspect worth mentioning is the automobile industry; vehicles are advancing toward smart, automated, electric, and shared applications, making them safer and more reliable (e.g., autonomous car systems and active safety systems), more comfortable and convenient (e.g., vehicle information communication system, communication between smartphones and cars, apps exclusive for vehicles, head up display, and innovative human-machine interface), and more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly (e.g., electric cars).

Although electric cars still account for a small portion of the automobile industry, they are increasing annually in double digits. Except for the complexity of managing the power and IC of electric cars, the overall design idea of electric cars is steering toward the concepts of connected cars and Internet of Vehicles (IoV), thereby substantially increasing the demand for IC compared with that required for traditional vehicles. The electronic automobile market will exhibit the strongest growth in the future, Gartner has estimated that in 2016 the vehicle IC market worldwide was worth US$31.4 billion, which will rise to US$41 billion in 2020. As vehicles become increasingly more “intelligent” the cost of automobile electronics will elevate further, which also increases the content of semiconductors in each vehicle on average.

‚Electronic assembly products

Influenced by the rapid development of upstream businesses, the global electronic market has successively produced a diversity of products that feature customized appearances. As new products diversify, market demands continuously increase, further aggravating the intensity of competitions in the industry. In particular, the rapidly evolving network communication industry and the rise of the consumer electronic industries intensified the competition in the electronic product market, which prompts brand owners to demand for improved technologies, new products, immediate market response, and adjustments to product portfolios in a timely manner. Numerous large international brands have continued to outsource their services in order to enhance their competitiveness in the global market and increase their share in the market. Therefore, the increase in the overall sales volume of EMS providers offers a greater room for developing stable cooperation among members of the supply chain. Subsequently, smartphones, tablets, and other electronic products will be in great demand in the global end electronic product market.

78

A. Global demand for outsourcing electronic products exhibits continuous growth trend

As the EMS mode matures and service quality improves, the global EMS industries continue to expand their service scope, which increases their OEM-based production volume both incrementally and annually. To meet the growing demand of brand owners, the scope of EMS increases incessantly, gradually covering the highest end of the product value chain. This trend provides a greater space for development to manufacturers, like us, who are equipped with the capability to plan, design, and research and develop products. It also motivates us to become the fastest growing manufacturer in the world.

B. The rapid development of wearable equipment expedites the development of miniature system modules

Wearable devices are devices that can be worn on the body as implants or accessories; these devices are integrated with multimedia, sensing, and multifunctional miniature technologies and support hand gesture and eye movements as a means of communication. Wearable devices are developed by employing wearable technologies to incorporate smart designs in people’s daily wearable accessories. Currently, wearable devices available in the market include smart bracelets, smart watch, smart spectacles, sports shoes, pace counter, apparels, and earphones. Attributable to 20 years of continuous efforts of industrial and academic experts, a wide variety of advanced wearable products and devices have been developed. Presently, technological leaders and small startup companies have entered the wearable device market, suggesting the powerful potential of this type of market.

C. The popularity of smart end devices accelerated the prevalence of wireless communication modules (WiFi)

A mature ecological system for electronic products and the diverse functions of application programs have increased people’s demand for better performing smartphones and tablet computers. Smart end devices have improved immensely in terms of function and complexity, from the most primitive functions such as camera functions to wireless data transfer via 3G, WiFi, and Bluetooth, to using GPS navigation functions, gyroscope, and speed sensors. Since 2013, 4G has become the standard network system in high-end smart devices, in addition to near field communication (NFC for mobile payment and data transmission) and fingerprint identification. Currently, increasingly more powerful functions such as enhanced photo color and motion sensor control are gradually maturing and have been integrated into mobile phones. Therefore, the functions of end smart devices are continuously improving.

Since its development, WiFi has been extensively applied to various types of digital mobile products, specifically smartphones and tablet computers. As the functions of end smart devices continue to improve, the smart mobile markets are also being rigorously developed, further increasing the demand for WiFi applications.

D. Division of labor in the electronic manufacturing industry and niche shift and clustering effect of manufacturing service industry

Influenced by the global economic integration, the division of labor in the electronic manufacturing profession, the continuously maturing EMS in Taiwan, and the relocation of the global EMS industry to Asia Pacific, particularly to China, the EMS industry in Taiwan has grown way faster than the entire electronic industry in the same period, and this trend will inevitably increase the overall market capacity and instigate a rapid development of the EMS industry.

79

The electronic industry has significantly clustered in China as the global EMS industry gradually relocates to the Asia Pacific. In addition, the upstream and downstream supply chain of the EMS industry have matured significantly, including their centralized procurement of basic electronic components, R&D design packages, and global logistic support service, all of which are able to facilitate the globalization of the EMS industry.

(4) Competition Status

Packaging and testing industry

The effects of emerging markets and saturation of end products on the global semiconductor market elucidate the low operating revenue of the semiconductor industry around the world, including Taiwan. From IC manufacturers’ perspectives, although they did not perform as well as they did in 2014, many vendors have used this opportunity to readjust their business goals, development strategies, and continual investment technologies, as well as to cooperate with international businesses.

However, the Chinese government invested billions of RMB to actively promote its semiconductor industry, which resulted in the rapid rise of a red semiconductor supply chain. South Korean government also proposed a revitalization project for its semiconductor industry, and this project is advantageous for the vertical integration of integrated device manufacturers (IDM). Furthermore, Japanese and European governments have strategically advanced toward developing value-added and differentiated semiconductor technologies for medical, industrial, agricultural, and automobile uses, combining and applying automobiles and robots to pave their way into aviation industry and ultimately the universe.

The rapidly changing economic environment and intensifying industry competition have made it difficult for Taiwan to maintain their fundamental business. With the United States leading the world, it is difficult for Taiwan to aim for the top. The merger and acquisition among the semiconductor industries remain frequent in recent years, which suggest that Taiwanese firms must have a corresponding strategy to expedite their transformation.

Source: Compiled according to the research report of GartnerMarket Share: Semiconductor Assembly and Test Services, Worldwide, 2015 Published: 12 April 2016, Analyst(s): Maria Valenzuela, Jim Walker and Masatsune Yamaji.

Note: This table is based on Gartner's estimation of the operating revenue of global semiconductor manufacturers that outsource their packaging and testing service. The operating revenues of Amkor for 2014 and 2015 exclude those of

99

J-Devices. The operating revenue of JCET for 2015 includes the revenue of STATS ChipPAC for August to December 2015.

Influenced by the economy, the global semiconductor market that outsources its packaging and testing service projected a slight decline in its operating revenue for 2015. ASE’s market share decreased slightly to 18.7%, but it is still taking the lead. Amkor maintained in second place, with a market share of roughly 11.3%. However, it is expected that after Amkor merges officially with J-Devices, it will shorten its gap with the first place. SPIL remained in the No. 3 ranking in 2015, with a market share of approximately 10.2%. Because it completed merger with STATS ChipPAC in August 2015, JCET obtained a market share of 6.6%, entering the fourth place. Powertech Technology Inc. was ranked No. 5 with a market share of 5.2%. Surrounded by competitors who engage in merger and acquisition to increase their market share, the Company will continue to devote its effort in developing advanced processes and in strengthening our packaging and testing capabilities particularly in the system level, which will further widen the technological gap with our competitors. To accommodate for the requirements of electronic components, existing packaging technologies are oriented toward high density, high I/O number, low operating power, surface component modularization, and composite structure development so as to create highly integrated, affordable fine, lightweight products that feature multiple pins and multi-chip module packaging. These products include ultra-fine gap wire bond assembly, flip chip packaging, 2.5D and 3D stacking package, wafer level packaging, multi-chip module (MCM), system-in-package (SiP), copper process, and through-wafer via (TWV). Nevertheless, the Company and its subsidiaries have fully prepared themselves for the continual growth of production demands for high-order packaging and testing products, thanks to their extensive investments in technologies and production capacity. Looking forward to the future, we will continue to refine our process and simultaneously commit to improving our profits.

‚Electronic assembly products

According to NVR predictions, the global EMS income in 2015 was US$332.6 billion. The electronic assembly operating income of the electronic assembly department of our Company and its subsidiaries was NT$137,347,359,000 in 2015 (equivalent to US$4,292,105,000), accounting for 1.29% of the global EMS income.

(3) Future market demand-supply and growth potential

Packaging and testing products

A. Supply

Since 2015, the global top 10 packaging and testing plants have entered a merger and acquisition phase, leading to the rise of the three packaging and testing leaders: ASE and SPIL in Taiwan, Amkor and J-Devices in the United States, and STATS ChipPAC in China. These three leaders are all based on logic IC packaging and testing, with a stronger focus on packaging than on testing. The degree of centralization of King Yuan Electronics (8.9% of the global market share) was higher compared with that of other firms, which are still in a dispersed state. Wafer level packaging and testing technologies are primarily focused on logic products; however, because these types of products require higher capital expenditure for business expansion and sustenance, the governing rights remain in the hands of large firms, and merger and acquisition

100

are beneficial for the allocation of funds and production resources.

B. Demand

Negatively affected by the low demand for smartphones, tablet computers, and other electronic products, the semiconductor assembly and test services (SATS) projected a scale of US$25.5 billion in 2015, which is a 5.9% decline compared with that in 2015 (US%27.1 billion). We envision that as demands for new applications (e.g., IoT, wearable devices, automobile IC) mature, SATS will project an annual composite growth rate of approximately 4% between 2015 and 2020.

International IDMs are gradually outsourcing their packaging and testing services primarily because of the increasing diversity of consumer electronic products, which increases the complexity of customized packaging and testing designs. The rate at which system circuit boards can be miniaturized is no longer in sync with the fine processes, and these two factors rely only on packaging and testing technologies to bridge the gap between them. Furthermore, the costs and technical level of packaging and testing are increasing, which leads to a rise in the costs of packaging and testing R&D. Therefore, increasingly more wafer manufacturers are seeking to outsource packaging and testing tasks in order to reduce costs. This phenomenon simultaneously highlights the inability of large IDMs to invest in high-order packaging and testing equipment. Subsequently, outsourcing OEM will inevitably become more frequent.

(4) Competition niche

The overall market in 2016 will exhibit a slight decline. In response, the Company and its subsidiaries have attached a greater level of importance to our internal operation as well as enhancing our capability to develop technologies, in an effort to excel in our performance again amidst the global economy. An analysis of the competitive advantages of the Company and its subsidiaries is as follows:

jContinuously researching and developing technologies to sustain our leading status in high-order product technologies and quality

The prevalence of OEM industrial chain mode in the semiconductor industry, the Company has also followed the steps of major foundry service providers (e.g., TSMC, UMC) and advanced toward the R&D of high-order products, and advancement of its technologies in order to create multi-win outcomes. To accommodate the increasingly complex functions, miniaturization, and optimal cost effects, the Company has focused on specializing its advanced packaging and testing technologies, including 2.5D & 3D IC, SiP, CSP, flip chip, bumping, optical package, and WLP.

Orienting toward refining its existing technologies and developing advanced products, the Company and its subsidiaries allocate 3 to 5% of its operating revenue to the R&D of technologies, which is also why the company has obtained over hundreds of patients every year. This is aimed at maintaining the company’s leading status in the industry and sustaining its competitive edge. In addition to taking the lead in the market share, ASE must also stay on top of their competitors in the research and development of technological applications.

kActively engaging in development to capture business opportunities of IDMs in a timely manner

To maintain the efficiency of semiconductor management and reduce costs, international IDMs must focus on Fab lite development to build their foundation for increasing OEM outsourcing. To accommodate this increasing trend, the Company and its subsidiaries have constantly reviewed their business strategies to develop their business in China and to approach customers and the market in order to capture potential business opportunities. All international firms are vying for a stake in China yet they cannot find the appropriate partner. Nevertheless, our strategy is likely to encourage more firms to outsource their packaging and testing operations, which will attract more business opportunities without influencing the foundation that Taiwan has in this domain.

ƒ Integrated advantages

The electronic assembly product departments of the Company and its subsidiaries have the advantages of professional design and producuction expertise in a variety of electronic products (including electronic components, parts, and whole machines) as well as system assembly, as well as the advantages of strategic division and integration of product categories. We leverage the strategy of “selecting the finest” and careful observation of market developments, client demands, and trends in electronics and information technologies. Furthermore, the core advantages developed over many years by the Company allow it to target electronics and IT market segments with strong growth and large scale. The “selecting the finest” strategy forms the basis for the Company and its subsidiaries’ horizontal integration of segmented markets and

103

industries, to account for the trend of greater integration in the electronics industry. This allows the Company to have its finger on the pulse of market trends at every stage, thus dynamically creating the most advantageous product combinations and driving the stable growth of the Company. The Company and its subsidiaries strengthen their core competencies in the horizontal and vertical integration of the component and whole machine production chains, in order to emphasize service value and improve interactions with clients. This then leads to stronger strategic positions in the production chain.

(5) Favorable and adverse factors for long-term growth and response strategy

jFavorable factors

A. The gradually increasing demand for new products and new technologies is a highly profitable opportunity for the Company, due to its significant advantage in R&D and innovation.

B. The way that IDMs are managing their business is constantly contributing to the release of packaging and testing orders, which in future will continue to bring greater business opportunities to the IC packaging and testing industry.

C. Thin, lightweight, and small-sized products with high-performance and high efficiency will be the mainstream in the future, making 2.5D and 3D ICs an extremely crucial technology. The Company has invested a substantial amount of resources in the R&D of these technologies and has taken a lead among its peer industries in technologies that are unrelated to packaging.

D. AS a packaging and testing plant in Taiwan that owes a substrate production line and the capability to manufacture robust high-order substrates, which not only enable us to hold the key to high-order packaging materials but also effectively reduce IC manufacturing costs to enhance our profitability.

E. In addition to traditional VGA, QFP, and QFN packaging products, a wide range of high-order products such as chipsets, graphic cards, optoelectronic products, wireless communication modules, and other relevant chips, as well as potential customers, are a bigger, potential market with a profound development potential.

F. Chinese manufacturers will continue to demand for IC products in the next few years. Based on the principles of cluster effect and supply chain, the Company has fully prepared itself in terms of geographical location and resource utilization in order to embrace this growth and business opportunity.

G. Exceptional R&D technologies: An exceptional R&D technology ensures the future development of a high-tech company. Therefore, the Company has been committed to cultivating R&D personnel, introducing advanced technologies, and accumulating years of experience to improve its R&D outcomes. The Company has also acquired ISO9001 plant management quality certification as well as the US military performance specification (MIL-PRF-38534).

H. Complete management system: The Company has computerized all of its production operations, including order processing, materials management, production control, on-site management, warehouse system, and delivery operations, to monitor the entire process. In addition, a large quantity of automated equipment is used in place of manual operations to enhance product yield, reduce production cost, and improve product competitiveness.

kAdverse factors

104

A. The Company and its subsidiaries' local competitors have attempted to actively solicit our customers. In addition, the alliance mechanisms of our competitors are likely to influence the Company.

B. The gradual decline in the barrier to entry for new technologies, the progressive improvement in competitors’ ability to imitate, and the shortening of product profit cycle pose an imminent threat to a technology-oriented company such as us. Because the research and development of new technologies require substantial funds and labor, the subsequent prices charged for using these technologies are not flexible, which is a major challenge in a micro-profit generation.

C. Increasingly more customers are demanding for better quality standards in the backend stage of IC packaging and testing. If the Company wishes to grow significantly, it must exceed the expectations of its competitors and customers.

D. The backend packaging and testing activities of the semiconductor industry are considered a capital-intensive industry, rendering them vulnerable to the economic impact of the semiconductor market. The quality of their business operation is also easily influenced by the economy. IC packaging and testing industries must carefully assess their investment plans as well as their plans concerning personnel, machines, funds, and technologies. Doing so enables them to prepare themselves for the substantial orders which might arise when the economy is good and for the impact of reduced orders when the economy is bad.

E. Power electronic industries are mainly responsible for tasks involving DC-DC conversion, AC-DC conversion, and motor operation, which require lighter, smaller, more efficient, and more affordable products. Currently, four types of technologies are employed to meet these requirements: Silicon IGBT, Super Junction (SJ) MOSFETs, Gallium Nitride (GaN), and Silicon Carbide (SiC)-based devices.

F. GAN and SiC are currently not mature enough for the power electronics market, with the former requiring improved manufacturing techniques (particularly with regards to extension and thickness), while the latter is an expensive material that makes it unsuitable for use in the consumer market. Therefore, the IGBT remains the mainstream before 2015.

G. A number of GaN competitors have also entered the competition in the market because of the large quantity of hot money entering the market. Generally, developing and testing a type of semiconductor material are time-consuming; however, the successive investments by large firms around the world have increased the likelihood that GaN products will be commercialized in the next two to three years.

H. A large number of IGBT module manufacturers are fiercely competing against each other, which easily results in a price war that reduces the gross profit. To mitigate the effect of competition on company profits, it is critical that firms cooperate with one another to disperse risks and strengthen their cost control mechanisms, as well as increase the economies of scale of their production activity.

ƒResponse measures

A. Leverage our advantage to provide turnkey service, integrate group resources, and share technological information to create more values and greater economic

105

benefits, which help us strengthen our competitive advantage to capture more business opportunities in the future market.

III. Issuance Plans and Implementation

A. The items that shall be included in the analysis regarding the allocation plan for capital raised through the previous cash capital increase, issuance of new shares to carry out a merger or acquisition, or to accept transfer of shares of another company; or issuance of corporate bonds:

As at to-date the company has not issued securities for private placement. Previous fundraising and issuance of securities by the company involved only the fourth tranche of unsecured convertible corporate bonds issued overseas in July 2015. The completion of the funds raised was slightly later than its projected time. Furthermore during the second half of 2015 the semiconductor industry was affected by liquidation of excess inventory. Thus the industry's capital expenses tended to be conservative. During the first half of 2016 the overall semiconductor industry suffered from a lack of demand due to shortage of terminal products. As a result the company adopted a prudent and conservative approach for its procurement and payment schedule in relation to capital expenses. Thus expenses lagged behind projected expenses. With machinery and equipment being pt in place, the company continued to make payment in the second half of 2016 in accordance with procurement terms. As at the end of November 2016, 90.39% of such payments have been made. Except for the outstanding items, all other procurement plans have been completed. Previous fundraising and issuance of securities with the actual completion date that is less than 3 years from the current filing include the third tranche of foreign unsecured convertible corporate bonds and share capital cash increase in 2013, the fourth tranche of unsecured convertible corporate bonds issued overseas in 2015 and the first tranche of unsecured ordinary corporate bonds issued in 2015. The said programs and their implementation are set out below:

Report on the Company's third issue of foreign unsecured convertible corporate bonds.

The company had completed fundraising in 2013Q3. Although operating revenue from 2013Q3 and the first half of 2014 showed growth compared to before the fundraising, the company had actually controlled its inventory of raw materials. As such its actual expenditure on purchase of raw materials denominated in foreign currency was slightly behind the original schedule. As at 2014Q2 the funds raised under the project amounting to USD400,000,000 (about NTD12,000,000,000) had been fully utilized. With regard to the company's financial structure after completion of the

168

fundraising, the company's debt-asset ratio rose slightly from 45.39% at the end of June 2013 to 45.98% at the end of June 2014. The main reasons were that the project involved issuance of foreign unsecured convertible corporate bonds, and that demand was high during the first half of 2014. Thus in order to meet overwhelming demand during the second half of the year, the company had to increase its reserve of materials. This in turn led to increase in demand for operating capital, and loan amounts and accounts payable on the books increased, thereby increasing total debt amount. Furthermore long-term fund to fixed assets ratio rose from 247.84% at the end of June 2013 to 251.38% at the end of June 2014. In terms of debt-repayment ability, current ratio rose from 42.00% as at the end of June 2013 to 59.20% as at the end of June 2014, and quick ratio rose from 32.76% as at the end of June 2013 to 50.24% as at the end of June 2014. Operating income, operating margin and earnings per share all rose compared to before the fundraising. Upon completion of the fundraising project except for slight increase in its debt ratio, the company's financial structure and debt-repayment ability saw an improvement. Furthermore, the operating performance of the Company also showed improvement compared to before the fundraising. This is indication of the fundraising project's benefit of improving the company's financial structure and debt-repayment ability.

As indicated in the Table below, the company's interest expense during the first half of 2014 saw an increase of NTD168,247,000 compared to the same period in the previous year. This is because of increased operation during the first half of 2014, with the company's operating revenue increasing 15.23% over the same period last year, As a result of increased in operating demand during the second half of the year the company had to increase its reserve of materials. This had the effect of increased demand in operating capital, which in turn led to increase in overall loan. Therefore interest expense actually rose compared with the same period in 2013. Since the funds raised under the project were all used on purchase of raw materials denominated in foreign currency, the company actually benefited by saving interest rate expense.

 Purchase of machinery and equipment by the company was in anticipation of future business growth. Thus the machinery and equipment purchased during this exercise were advance semiconductor assembly and testing equipment, with such equipment being added to production in stages. Official production was expected to begin in 2014Q3. The increase in production volume, sales volume, operating income, gross operating profit and net operating profit for the company's assembly and testing products in 2014Q3 after commencement of production were respectively: 787,500,000 units, 787,500,000 units, NTD2,520,000,000, NTD826,236,000 and NTD549,036,000, with achievement rate respectively of 87.82%, 87.82%, 82.89%, 124.62% and 167.07%. The achievement rate of over 80% for production volume, sales volume and operating revenue was considered excellent. In addition the achievement rate for gross operating profit and net operating profit was also good since the orders' gross profit was higher than that originally estimated, with the company also exercising effective control of expenses. The increase in production volume, sales volume, operating income, gross operating profit and net operating profit for the company's assembly and testing products in 2015 after commencement of production were respectively: 2,891,372,000 units, 2,891,372,000 units, NTD6,482,389,000, NTD1,706,150,000 and NTD1,144,431,000, with achievement rate respectively of 161.21%, 161.21%, 106.62%, 128.66% and 174.12%, which were considered excellent. Furthermore the increase in production volume, sales volume, operating income, gross operating profit and net operating profit for the company's assembly and testing products as at the end of November 2016 after commencement of production were respectively: 2,141,059,000 units, 2,141,059,000 units, NTD4,741,099,000, NTD1,414,282,000 and NTD999,759,000, with achievement rate respectively of 110.74%, 110.74%, 76.14%, 103.10% and 145.56%. As a result of adjustment in product combination the achievement rate for operating revenue was lower than that of gross operating profit. IN addition gross operating profit and net operating profit were excellent as gross profit from orders was higher than expected estimated gross profit margin as well as due to effective control of expenses. In conclusion the benefit from the company's 2013 issuance of new shares for cash injection for use in purchase of new machinery and equipment was apparent.

However as at the end of November 2016 the company's actual cumulative expenses were USD198,850,000 (about NTD6,224,003,000), giving an actual cumulative implementation rate of 90.39%. The implementation was behind schedule mainly because the funds were in place on July 2, 2015 which was after the expected date. In addition the semiconductor industry was affected by moves to cut down inventory during the second half of 2015, thus causing the company to adopt a conservative approach for its expenditure. During the first half of 2016 the overall semiconductor

As a result the company adopted a prudent and conservative approach for its procurement and payment schedule in relation to capital expenses. Thus expenses lagged behind projected expenses. During the second half of 2016 the machinery and equipment were duly delivered and the company made payment in accordance with the payment terms. In summary, although the implementation of fund disbursement was slightly behind schedule the company came to the conclusion upon assessment that this was mainly due to changes in the semiconductor industry chain, albeit with no major irregularity.

As at the end of November 2016 the cumulative amount originally projected by the company for purchase of machinery and equipment was NTD6,886,000,00 with implementation level of 100.00%. However the actual cumulative expenses of NTD6,224,003,000, with implementation of 90.39%. This was mainly because the time for overseas underwriting was longer than originally expected, with funds raised behind schedule. Thus fund utilization was also behind schedule. Moreover weak demand for terminal devices during the second half of 2015 while upstream customers also adjusting their inventories. The above causes prompted the company to take a conservative approach with respect to its capital expenses. Owing to weak seasonal demand during the first half of 2016 and lack of terminal devices for the semiconductor industry, the company adopted a prudent approach for its capital expenses both with regard to actual purchases and payment schedule. Therefore actual expenses were slightly behind schedule. With traditional peak season during the second half of 2016 and sustained demand for smart phones, the machinery and equipment ordered by the company have been duly delivered with the company making payment in accordance with the payment terms. Overall, although the implementation of the company's fourth foreign unsecured convertible corporate bonds was slightly behind schedule, the company had upon assessment concluded that it was due to changes in the entire semiconductor industry with no major irregularity. Thus it did not have any major adverse impact on the company's finances and operation as well as shareholder's equity. In conclusion the causes were reasonably expected, with no major irregularity.

4. Unspent amount: As of November 2016, USD1,150,000 (approximately NTD35,995,000) from this fundraising remains unspent and is placed in a savings account. The remaining USD20,000,000 (approximately NTD626,000,000) will be supplemented through proprietary funds.

Note: Compiled up to the end of November 2016.

The current purchase of machinery and equipment by the company was mainly in anticipation of future business growth needs. As such the machinery consisting of semiconductor assembly and testing equipment was purchased, delivered and put in production in batches. The original plan was for mass production to begin in 2016Q1, but owing to weak demand for devices and adjustment of inventory by upstream customers, the company decided to adopt a conservative approach, thus causing the benefit to be slightly delayed. The increase in production volume, sales volume, operating income, gross operating profit and net operating profit for the company's assembly and testing products as at the end of November 2016 was respectively: 1,061,666,000 units, 1,061,666,000 units, NTD3,970,632,000, NTD 933,099,000 and NTD647,213, with achievement rate of 90.55%, 90.55%, 91.53%, 77.64% and 89.32%. The achievement rate of over 80% for production volume, sales volume, operating revenue and net operating profit was considered excellent. The achievement rate of gross operating profit was 77.64% since the orders' gross profit was lower than that originally estimated; however, net operating profit remained highly satisfactory due to the company’s effective control of expenses. The company expects that, with production capacity gradually stabilizing, shortening of semiconductor production process, returning demand for advance assembly and emerging smart phone application driving increasing market demand the effect of the company's purchase of new machinery and equipment will be demonstrated in due course.

6. Impact on shareholder's equity and future improvement plan

Utilization of funds from the fundraising project was behind schedule mainly because the time for overseas underwriting was longer than originally expected, with funds raised behind schedule. Moreover adjustments in the semiconductor industry of inventories and weak demand for terminal devices during the second half of 2015 prompted the company to take a conservative approach with respect to its capital expenses. The machinery and equipment purchased by the company had been put into production in stages. As at the end of November 2016, the achievement rate for additional production volume, sales volume, operating income, gross operating profit and net operating profit for the company's assembly and testing products as at the end of November 2016 was respectively: 90.55%, 90.55%, 91.53%, 77.64% and 89.32%. The achievement rate of over 80% for production volume, sales volume, operating revenue and net operating profit was considered excellent. In addition the achievement rate of 77.64% for gross operating profit was also good since the orders' gross profit was higher than that originally estimated, with the company also exercising effective control of expenses. Achievement of net operating profit was also excellent. The company expects

174

that, with production capacity gradually stabilizing, shortening of semiconductor production process, returning demand for advance assembly and emerging smart phone application driving increasing market demand the effect of the company's purchase of new machinery and equipment will be demonstrated in due course. In conclusion there was no major adverse impact on shareholder's equity.

(2) Anticipated benefit:

The interest rates for the company's long-term corporate bonds were at relatively modest level. The issuance of the current long-term corporate bonds would reduce the risk of rising interest rate. The issuance of long-term corporate bonds denominated in New Taiwan Dollars in order to increase its source of long-term funding meant that there was no exchange risk while also locking in the cost of long-term financing. This was in keeping with the principle of steady operation.

Note: 1. The basis for calculation of reduction in interest was when the interest rate for the original loan was higher than that of the corporate bonds issued (Class A: fixed annual interest rate 1.30%; Class B: fixed annual interest rate 1.5%).

2. Part of the loans that were repaid carnied interest rates that were higher than that of the corporate bonds. However, considering that the current interest rate for mid- to long-term loans is still at a relatively low level, the current issuance of domestic corporate bonds was reasonable. Moreover it could reduce structural risk of the company's finances.

	Quick ratio	30.70	23.77

The company's 2015 first unsecured corporate bonds were issued to raise a total sum of NTD9,000,000,000. All the funds raised would be utilized in repayment of bank loans, and implementation of the project was completed during 2016Q1. The purpose was to reduce risk of the company's financial structure. The company's debt ratio during 2016Q1 was 49.29%. This was slightly higher than that at the end of 2015 (48.71%). Its current ratio and quick ratio as at 2016Q1 were respectively 28.42% and 23.77%, compared with 35.19% and 30.70% at the end of 2015 (before fundraising). This is mainly because during 2016Q1 the company increased its shareholding in Siliconware Precision Industries. As a result the increase in current assets and quick

176

assets was significantly larger than the increase in current liabilities. However after the issuance of the ordinary corporate bonds the company's long-term capital increased to 273.73% of its fixed assets. This was indication of adjustment in the company's financial structure. In terms of operating income, due to adjustments in inventory in the semiconductor industry in the second half of 2014, weak demand in terminal devices, and the traditional low season, in the first quarter of 2016 the Company’s income was lower than the same period last year. However, rising demand for packaging in the communications, consumer electronics, industry, and vehicle industries has led to an end of the inventory clear-outs by downstream clients. Coupled with the traditional peak season, the Company’s performance in the first three quarters of 2016 showed a trend towards growth. This indicates the Company’s success in this issue of corporate bonds.

(2) Reduction of risk of rising interest rate

Furthermore judging by the yield trend of the 5th public debts in 2016 of the R.O.C., it has gradually risen from 0.6066% early in the year to 0.845% currently. This is an indication of the company locking in the cost of long-term financing by its issuance of 2015 first unsecured ordinary corporate bonds, thereby reducing the risk of rising interest rate.

In conclusion the effect of the company's 2015 first unsecured ordinary corporate bonds to repay bank loans is apparent.

1. Viability of the current funding plan involving offering and issuance of securities

(1) Viability of statutory procedure

The company's current issuance of new shares for cash has been approved by way of resolution at its Board of Directors meeting held on December 8, 2016. The company has determined that the issuance/offering is in compliance with the Company Law, Securities Exchange Act, Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Issuers and other relevant laws and regulations. Furthermore the company's legal counsel has issued legal opinion with respect to the legal compliance of the share issuance/offering plan. As such the current issuance/offering is compliant with law,

(2) Viability of completion of fundraising

For the current project the company proposes to issue 300,000,000 new shares each with a face value of NTD10, and an issuing price tentatively fixed at NTD34.3 per share. The company expects to raise NTD10,290,000,000. Pursuant to the requirements under Article 267 of the Company Act, 10% of the new shares issued, i.e. 30,000,000 shares will be set aside for subscription by the company's employees. Furthermore pursuant to Article 28-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, 10% of new shares issued, i.e. 30,000,000 shares will be set aside for public offering through underwriter by way of open subscription. The remaining 80%, i.e. 240,000,000 shares will be subscribed by original shareholders with their respective shareholding ratios on the shareholders’ roster at subscription record date. For fractional part of a share subscribed by shareholders, such shareholders shall proceed to the company's registrar within 5 days of the cessation of transfer registration to process subscription through aggregation of fractional entitlement. For shares for which the original shareholders or employees have relinquished their subscription rights or fractional parts of shares, the Board of Directors authorizes the Chairman to negotiate with specific individuals to subscribe such shares or fractional parts at the issue price. In addition pursuant to Article 61 of the Taiwan Securities Association Rules Governing Underwriting and Resale of Securities by Securities Firms, for a firm commitment offering by public subscription, where subscriptions fall short of the number of units put up for sale, the underwriting syndicate may either place the remainder with a specific party or purchase the remainder on its own account. Therefor the current fundraising is considered viable.

(3) Viability of fund utilization plan

The company proposes to use all funds raised from the offering of new shares to repay bank loans in order to reduce its interest burden, improve its financial structure as well as flexibility of its financial channels. Upon perusal of the loan contracts for loans which the company proposes to repay and disbursement of monies, it has been ascertained that such loans actually exist and their contracts do not preclude early repayment or contain other special restrictions. Thus upon completion of the current fundraising the company can carry out repayment of bank loan in accordance with its fund utilization plan. This means that the proposal to use the funds raised to repay bank loans is reasonable and viable.

179

In conclusion the company's issuance/offering of new shares is compliant with law. The completion of fundraising and fund utilization plan are also viable.

Note: “Loan” refers to bank loans (long- and short-term loans) short-term notes payable and short-term bonds payable

At present the company mainly carries out production, assembly, processing, testing and sale of all types of ICB. It leverages on its semiconductor assembly and testing technology and production process research and development to provide advance assembly and testing services for semiconductor manufacturers throughout the world. In the entire semiconductor supply chain the company's main operations involving assembly and testing in mid-stream and supply of assembly materials in the downstream. In 2015the assembly and testing industry was affected by weak demand for terminal devices. In addition upstream customers adjusted their inventories. Market competition also intensified, thus causing the company's operating revenue in 2015 to show marginal decline compared to that in 2014. Owing to weak seasonal demand during the first three quarters of 2016 and lack of terminal devices for the semiconductor industry, the company's operating revenue continued to show slight decline. With traditional peak season during the second half of 2016 and sustained demand for smart phones, the company's operating revenue during the third quarter rose slightly compared with the previous two quarter.s

It can be seen from the Table that at present the company's working capital consists entirely of loans. Thus, interest expense during 2014, 2015 and first three quarters of 2016 respectively made up 2.84%, 3.67%, and 6.31% of operating profit. This is indication that interest cost has significant impact on the company's profitability. In order to complement the company's financial structure and reduce interest expense, the company has fixed the amount required for this project to be NTD10,290,000,000. The company also proposes to utilize the entire amount to repay bank loans. Based on the interest rate of 0.90%～0.93% for loans for which the company proposes to repay, the company expects to save in 2017, interest expense of about NTD70,739,000, with saving of about NTD94,319,000 annually in subsequent years. The current fundraising plan will suitable reduce interest expense, thereby reducing the company's financial burden as well as its reliance on banks. This will enable it to respond better to changes in the industry. If the company continues to meet working capital needs through bank loans, the room for its working capital may well be significantly compressed in the event of downturn in economic outlook. Therefore the company's proposal to apply all the funds raised towards repayment of bank loans will not only reduce its reliance on financial institutions but will also convert short-term funds on loan to long-term funds, thereby reducing its financial and operational risks. The current fundraising plan is therefore of critical importance.

	Quick ratio (%)	53.66	30.70	27.43	34.40

Source: 2014–2015 financial reports inspected and certified by a CPA. 

Note: Projections based on financial statements for 2016Q3.

In terms of financial structure, the company's debt ratio as at the end of 2014~2015 and 2016Q3 is respectively 42.60%, 48.71% and 51.66%. The increase is mainly due to the company's issuance in 2015 of its fourth foreign unsecured convertible corporate bonds, issuance of unsecured ordinary corporate bonds in 2016Q1 and increase in bank loans to meet operating needs. With regard to the company's debt-repayment ability, as at the end of 2014~2015 and 2016Q3 the company's current ratio is respectively 60.50%, 35.19% and 33.36%, and its quick ratio 53.66%, 30.70% and 27.43% respectively. The decline year-by-year is mainly due to increase in demand for operating capital, causing the company's short-term liabilities to rise each year. Furthermore the corporate bonds issued at the end of 2015 have been transferred to corporate debts due within one year. The company is an advance semiconductor assembly and testing service provider. To meet its operating needs it depends on bank loans for its working capital. The current fundraising project is expected to be completed in 2017Q1 when all funds raised will be in place. The company is expected to then use the funds raised to repay its bank loans. It expects that following the fundraising the company's debt ratio will be reduced, and its current ratio and quick ratio will rise compared to those in 2015 and 2016Q3. If the company does not raise fresh capital to repay bank loans its financial structure may continue to weaken. Increase in interest expenses will also affect its debt-repayment ability and increase its liquidity and credit risks. All these will have adverse impact on the company's future business expansion. Following the fundraising the company's ratio and financial structure are expected to improve, thereby reducing its financial risk, improve its debt-repayment ability and maintenance of long-term competitiveness. As such the fundraising project is necessary.

(3) Finance and capital

The company's current fundraising involving issuance of new shares for cash is expected to raise NTD10,290,000,000. The entire amount of funds raised will be used to repay bank loans, thereby suitably reducing the company's debt ratio. Based on the company's cash income and expense projections for 2016 and 2017, the company's non-financing income between December 2016 and April 2017 is projected to total NTD43,453,831,000. Add to that its cash balance as at December 2016 of NTD1,319,683,000 and deduct from that non-financing expenses of NTD34,406,371,000, and considering that its monthly minimum cash balance is NTD1,500,000,000 and the net amount of total bank loan is NTD29,593,919,000, the

181

company will between December 2016 and April 2017 see a working capital shortfall of NTD20,726,776,000. If such shortfall is to be met by increase in bank loan the company's operating risk will correspondingly increase. Its profit will also be eroded. Thus to prevent interest rate from being a burden due to increased lending as well as reduce the company's reliance on banks and improve its competitiveness, it is necessary for the company's fundraising project to raise funds to repay bank loan. This also has the effect of using long-term funding to meet shortage in the company's working capital.

3. Reasonableness of projected progress and anticipated benefit of fund utilization plan

(1) Reasonableness of fund utilization plan and projected progress

Unit: NT$ 1,000

Project items	Expected date of completion	Total funding needed	Anticipated fund use progress
			2017
			Quarter 2 (Q2)
Repayment of bank loan	2017Q2	10,290,000	10,290,000
Total		10,290,000	10,290,000

The company expects to file with the Securities and Futures Bureau of the Financial Supervisory Commission in December 2016 its new share issuance for cash. It is then expected to complete fundraising during 2017Q1 following the aforesaid filing, whereupon it will apply the entire amount of fund raised for repayment of bank loan. For those bank loans to be repaid by the company, their loan contracts do not contain restrictions with respect to early repayment. Therefore the fund utilization plan and expected progress are considered reasonable.

(2) Reasonableness of anticipated benefit:

The following contains details of bank loans expected to be repaid following the fundraising project:

Unit: NT$ 1,000

Lending institution	Interest rate	Contract Period	Original loan purpose	Original loan amount	Proposed repayment amount in 2017Q2	Reduced interest expense
						2017 (Note)	2018
Standard Chartered Bank	0.91%	2016.08.01~2018.08.01	Working capital	3,290,000	3,290,000	22,454	29,939
DBS Bank	0.90%	2016.08.12~2019.08.11	Working capital	4,330,000	2,400,000	16,200	21,600
HSBC Bank	0.93%	2016.10.27~2018.10.26	Working capital	4,600,000	4,600,000	32,085	42,780
Total				12,220,000	10,290,000	70,739	94,319

Note: The company expects that following completion of fundraising in March 2017 it will utilize the funds to repay bank loans in April 2017, thus saving interest expense for April ~ December 2017.

The company expects to repay in 2017Q2 bank loans amounting to NTD10,290,000,000. The original bank loans were short-term loans for working capital.

182

Based on the lending rate for the loans to be repaid, the company will in 2017 and annually in subsequent years save the following: NTD70,739,000 and NTD94,319,000. The savings in interest expense and reduction in financial burden is therefore reasonable.

4. Analysis of impact of various sources of fund deployment on the company's earnings per share during the current year and subsequent one year

(1) Analysis of comparison between various funding sources:

The main sources of funding for listed (OTC) companies are generally divided into equity-based and debt-based fundraising tools. The former consists of issuance of new shares for cash and overseas depository receipts, while the latter consists of foreign or local convertible corporate bonds, ordinary corporate bonds and bank loans etc. The following sets out favorable and unfavorable factors for various funding sources, along with their analysis:

Item		Favorable factors	Unfavorable factors
Equity	Cash capital increase Issuance of new shares	1. Improves financial structure, reduces financial risk, enhances market competitiveness.  2. A relatively common financial product in the capital market, with high level of acceptance by general investors.  3. Under the law employees will have priority in subscribing 10%~15% of the shares issued, thus raising employees' acceptance and sense of belonging.	1. Earnings per share are diluted as a result of expansion in share capital.  2. For companies whose shareholding is not concentrated, their operating status can be easily threatened.  3. If there is no reasonable disparity between underwriting price and market price, the fundraising may not be successful.
	Overseas Depository Receipts	1. Fundraising in overseas market gives an opportunity for the company to enhance its reputation.  2. Fundraising mainly targeted at foreign entities, thus preventing excessive accumulation of shareholding in local market and causing adverse impact of the share price.  3. Improves the ratio of proprietary funds as well as financial structure.	1. The company's reputation in overseas market and growth of its industry will affect the fundraising program's success.  2. Relatively high fixed issuing cost. To achieve economy of scale the issuance/offering should not be for a low amount.
Debt	Foreign and local convertible corporate bond	1. As it is accompanied with 'conversion' right its coupon rate is lower than long-term loan interest rate.  2. The conversion price for conversion into ordinary shares is generally higher than the current price of such shares during issuance of such convertible bonds. This means that the issuer is issuing shares at a relative premium.  3. Lower pressure of dilution of earnings per share.  4. Convertible bonds is changed from liabilities to assets upon creditors requesting conversion. In addition to save interest expense the company can also avoid being under pressure for funding once the bonds mature.	1. Lower liquidity than ordinary shares.  2. Insofar as the bonds are not converted the company will remain under pressure for capital in case of redemption.

Item		Favorable factors	Unfavorable factors
	Ordinary corporate debt	1. No dilution of equity.  2. Creditors do not possess right of management of the company, thus no major impact.  3. Effective use of financial leverage, thus creating relatively high profit.	1. Interest burden erodes the company's profitability.  2. Easily cause deterioration in the company's financial structure, thus reducing its competitiveness.  3. The company will face enormous pressure to raise fund to meet redemption upon maturity of corporate debt.
	Bank loan  or Issuance of acceptance bill	1. No dilution of equity.  2. Creditors do not possess right of management of the company, thus no major impact.  3. Effective use of financial leverage, thus creating relatively high profit.	1. Interest burden erodes the company's profitability.  2. Deterioration of financial structure and lowering of competitiveness.  3. Possible requirement for collaterals.  4. Pressure of repayment on maturity.

(2) Analysis of impact of various funding sources on the issuer's earnings per share in the current year

The common sources of funding for listed (OTC) companies are borrowings (including bank loans, issuance of ordinary corporate bonds and issuance of convertible corporate bonds), issuance of overseas depository receipts and issuance of new shares for cash. As the cost of issuing overseas depository receipts is relatively high and does not conform to economic benefit, it will not be considered. Furthermore since bank loans and issuance of ordinary corporate bonds have the same effect, this analysis will deal with three means of fundraising namely bank loan, issuance of convertible corporate bonds and issuance of new shares for cash. As since the current plan involves using the funds raised to repay bank loans, this means of fundraising will therefore not be considered. If the current fundraising is by way of issuance of ordinary corporate bonds, the company would be required to pay issuance interest together with guarantee cost and other processing expenses etc. Such interest expense will pose fixed annual interest burden. And they must be repaid at their due date. If at such time the industry's outlook deteriorates, they will have an impact on the company's financial deployment. Thus adoption of purely debt-based financing tools will, in addition to increasing the company's debt ratio and hence lead to increase in financial risk, also reduce the company's profitability as well as place a burden on the company's finance each year. All these run counter to the principle of steady operation, not to mention the likelihood of them affecting the company's credit worthiness, future financing cost, profitability and financial structure. Comparison of impact on 2017 earnings per share between issuance of convertible corporate bonds and issuance of new shares for cash:

Note 1: The amount to be raised under the program is NTD10,290,000,000. 

Note 2: Without considering issuing cost the financing cost of the respective financing tools is: Share issuance for cash 0%; convertible corporate bond 0%. 

Note 3: If the full amount of NTD10,290,000,000 is raised by March 2017, the period for calculation of 2017 fundraising cost will be 9 months. 

Note 4: The number of outstanding shares (i.e. shares in circulation) before the fundraising project is 7,949,974,846. 

Note 5: The expected number of new shares to be issued is based on the assumption of issuance price of NTD34.30 per share. The conversion price for convertible corporate bonds during the conversion period is calculated based on NTD37.50 per share. 

Note 6: Maximum dilution of equity = 1-(number of outstanding shares before fundraising/number of outstanding shares after fundraising) based on the assumption that original shareholders do not participate in the subscription of new ordinary shares issued for cash or convertible corporate bond.

A. Effect of dilution of EPS

Examination of the aforesaid fundraising tools based on their respective financing cost and effect of share capital expansion, the maximum dilution of EPS for issuance of new shares for cash is slightly higher than that for issuance of convertible corporate bonds, although the difference is marginal. However issuance of new shares for cash is a long-term funding source with the lowest financing cost. It can also immediately reduce debt ratio as well as raise the company's competitiveness such to reduce operating risk. Thus by considering the dilution of EPS of the respective tools, the current issuance of new shares for cash ought to be considered reasonable.

B. Impact on the issuer's financial burden

Except for issuance of new shares which is a equity-based financing tool and thus does not incur interest and is not encumbered with repayment principal upon maturity, all other aforesaid fundraising tools are debt-based fundraising tools. In the case of convertible corporate bonds, the company not only have to make payment of interest based on prescribed rate, but would also be subject to financing pressure brought about by re-purchase from the creditor or redemption by creditors at maturity. Thus fundraising through issuance of new shares for cash has the benefit of obtaining long-term, stable, low-cost financing. It can also reduce interest burden and strengthen financial structure. Although in the short term it will dilute earnings per share, in the long term it has the benefit of strengthening the company's finance. Therefore issuance of new shares for cash should be a relative better fundraising means since it reduces the company's financial risk.

C. Dilution of equity and impact on shareholder's equity

In terms of potential impact of dilution of equity, issuance of new shares for cash will cause equity to be diluted. There is no dilution of equity before holders of convertible corporate bonds exercise the conversion rights. During the exercise

185

period the holders can elect to exercise conversion at a relatively advantageous point in time. There is therefore a delay in the dilution of equity. With regard to the maximum dilution of equity for different fundraising tools (assuming that the original shareholders do not participate in subscription of new share issues or convertible corporate bonds), new share issue will have greater impact that convertible corporate bonds, although in such a case debt ratio will be lower than that if convertible corporate bonds are fully issued. Thus, new share issues can help improve financial structure, as well as avoid pressure on the company in relation to repayment of principal sum upon maturity of the corporate bonds. There are both reduced financial burden and financial risk. For the current issue, apart from being required by law to set aside 10% for employees' subscription as well as 10% for public subscription, the remaining shares are to be subscribed by shareholders on the shareholder's register on the benchmark date according to their shareholding percentage. As such dilution of equity is not as serious as in other cases. In the case of issuance of convertible corporate bonds, as they are usually sold to the public, any conversion by outside investors would result in greater dilution of equity. With regard to impact on shareholder equity, although the company's share capital will not increase immediately in the case of issuance of convertible corporate bonds, their financing cost is relatively high and can easily erode the company's profit. Moreover the fundraising exercise will only increase the company's liabilities and its net value will not immediately improved. There is therefore limited assistance to the company's sustainability. Conversely, share issue for cash will not only suitably improve the company's own capital and reduce its financial burden, but will even help it improve its competitiveness while reducing operating risk. Therefore in the long term existing shareholder equity has better protection.

5. For issuance of shares at below face value, explanation should be given with respect to the necessity and reasonableness of the company's issuance of new shares at discount, its reasons for not adopting other fundraising means and reasonableness thereof, and the amount of capital reserve or retained earnings that has been reduced: Not applicable.

	Loan of borrowed funds to  Related enterprise (net amount)	3,746,866	3,367,000

Note: The company issued the first unsecured ordinary corporate bonds of 2016 in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on December 8, 2016. The total amount of the issue was no more than NTD8 billion. The funds are planned to be used for paying back bank loans. The company’s cash balance forecasts for 2016 and 2017 show that the company plans to issue the bonds in the 2017Q1. The predicted effect is based on the fact that long-term corporate bond yields are still quite low, so long-term corporate bonds will help mitigate the risk of rebounding yields in the future, thus locking in long-term capital for adjustments to the company’s financial structure.

It can be seen from the Table above that between December 2016 and April 2017, the company will have a working capital shortfall of NTD20,726,776,000. This figure is arrived at by taking the total of cash balance and non-financing income as at December 2016 amounting to NTD44,773,514,000 and deducting from it non-financing expenses and minimum cash balance required totaling NTD35,906,371,000 and projected repayment of bank loans totaling NTD29,593,919,000. If such capital shortfall were to be dealt with using bank loan, the company's operating risk will rise while its profit will be eroded. Thus to prevent interest expense burden, reduce its reliance on banks and improve its competitiveness, the company proposes to raise, through share issue for cash, the amount of NTD10,290,000,000, thereby using long-term fund to meet working capital shortfall. As such it is necessary. Following appraisal of the amount and time at which the company's fundraising program is fully implemented, and the cash requirements and time of cash shortfall as set out in the statement of projected cash income and expenses, no major irregularities have been discovered.

(2) With regard to the company's policy for collection of accounts receivable and payment of accounts payable, capital expenses plan, financial leverage and debt ratio (or ratio of own assets and risk assets) during the current year and the next one year, explanation should be give for reasons for repayment of debt or supplementing working capital.

A. Company's policy for collection of accounts receivable and payment of accounts payable

The company's main cash in-flow consists of cash receipts of accounts receivable. Its main expenses consist of purchase of raw materials and manufacturing cost. The company's policy for accounts receivable involves consideration of the customer's financial structure, credit status, operating scale, past dealings, economic situation of the respective sales regions and market competition, with appropriate credit limit and collection terms assigned to customers. For collection of money from sale of goods, in the company's financial reports for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 the term for accounts receivable is respectively 68 days and 73 days. There is no major deviation from credit term for the company's sale to general customers which is 30~90 days. Thus the number of days for cash receipts in the company's estimated accounts receivable for 2016 and 2017 should be reasonable, since they are compiled based on credit term for ordinary customers. With regard to purchases the company's policy for payment of accounts payable differs depending the vendor's scale, nature and raw materials market. According to the company's financial reports for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 the term for accounts payable is 42 days. There is no major deviation from credit term for the company's accounts payable which is 45 days. As such the estimate should be considered reasonable. Based on the aforesaid the company has, in keeping with its accounts receivable and payable policies and taking into consideration past and current trading terms, projected its cash receipts and payments for the respective months based on empirical principles for compilation of its cash receipt and payment table. The basis and assumption for its compilation are reasonable.

B. Capital expenses plan and long-term investment plan

In the Company's capital plan for 2016-2017, the expenses for the period January-November 2016 are based on its actual payments. The main items consist of purchase of operating machinery and equipment and related plant affairs. The capital expense plan from December 2016 to December 2017 consists mainly purchase of machinery and equipment, repair and maintenance of plants etc. Upon review it has been found that there have no major disparities in the Company's projected income and expenses for the respective months in 2016 and 2017. As such their compilation is considered reasonable.

Furthermore the Company's long-term investment in January to November 2016 consisted mainly of investment in currencies to obtain fixed return. The Company utilizes its own funds to obtain shareholding in Siliconware Precision Industries and that from its American depository receipts to increase its shareholding in Siliconware. In view of stable operation and performance of Siliconware, the Company expects to obtain long-term, steady investment return. The company also acquired special shares in Deca Technologies Inc. in order to strengthen its deployment in Fan-out WLP technology, thus strengthening the parternship relationship. There are no further plans for long-term investments between December 2016 and the end of December 2017.

C. Financial leverage and debt ratio

Debt ratio (%)	42.60	48.71	51.66	49.23	41.13

Note: Projection based on individual 2016Q3 financial report

The higher a company's financial leverage, the greater the percentage of its interest expense in relation to its operating profit, and the greater its financial risk. Thus financial leverage operation requires one to consider the safety of one's financial structure as well as liquidity and convertibility of its assets. The company's issuance of new shares for cash to repay its bank loans means it can save on interest expense, thus preventing such expense from eroding its profit. The company’s degree of financial leverage for 2014-2015 and the first three quarters of 2016 are 1.06, 1.09, and 1.11 respectively. In 2015 due to the issuance of the fourth foreign unsecured convertible corporate bonds and additional bank loans to meet its need for working capital, financial leverage rose to 1.09; in the first three quarters of 2016 the financial leverage rose marginally to 1.11 due to the issuance of ordinary corporate bonds and increase in interest for long and short-term loans taken to fulfill the need for working capital. The company plans to issue the first unsecured ordinary corporate bonds for 2016 in January 2017, in consideration of the fact long-term corporate bond yields are still quite low, so long-term corporate bonds will help mitigate the risk of rebounding yields in the future, thus locking in long-term capital for adjustments to the company’s financial structure. Upon repayment of part of the company's bank loans following its fundraising plan, the company's financial leverage at year-end 2017 is at 1.14 times. It has been determined that if the company does not raise funds through issuance of new shares, and instead raises its working capital through loans from financial institutions, its interest burden will increase and its financial structure will deteriorate. The current issuance of new shares will enable the company to obtain long-term funds, reduce the impact of interest expense on its profit, as well as having a positive impact on the company's financial leverage.

Furthermore, the company's debt ratio for 2014~end 2015 and 2016Q3 is 42.60%, 48.71% and 51.66% respectively, demonstrating a rising trend. This is mainly because of the company's 2015 issuance of fourth foreign unsecured convertible corporate bonds and 2016Q1 issuance of unsecured ordinary corporate bonds as well as additional bank loans to meet its need for working capital. If the company then uses long and short-term loans to meet its needs, its financial structure consisting of high interest burden and relatively high debt ratio will directly affect its ability to flexibly use its working capital and its stability, thus increasing its financial risk. If the economic outlook turns worse or its operating environment deteriorates, the company will have even greater financial risk. For the above reasons the company has decided to undertake issue of new shares for cash in order to raise medium and long-term funding. It expects that after the fundraising its debt ratio as at the end of 2017 will drop to 41.10%, a significant improvement compared with 51.66% during the first three quarters of 2016. The company expects to improve its debt-repayment ability and reduce its financial risk.

(3) Explanation should be given to the use of the original loans and achievement of benefit if the fundraising plan is for repayment of debts

191

For the current fund utilization plan, the company expects to use NTD10,290,000,000 to repay bank loans. The following sets out details of bank loans to be repaid:

Unit: NT$ 1,000

Lending institution	Interest rate	Contract Period	Original loan purpose	Original loan amount	Proposed repayment amount in 2017Q2	Reduced interest expense
						2017 (Note)	2018
Standard Chartered Bank	0.91%	2016.08.01~2018.08.01	Working capital	3,290,000	3,290,000	22,454	29,939
DBS Bank	0.90%	2016.08.12~2019.08.11	Working capital	4,330,000	2,400,000	16,200	21,600
HSBC Bank	0.93%	2016.10.27~2018.10.26	Working capital	4,600,000	4,600,000	32,085	42,780
Total				12,220,000	10,290,000	70,739	94,319

Note: The company expects that following completion of fundraising in March 2017 it will utilize the funds to repay bank loans in April 2017, thus saving interest expense for April ~ December 2017.

jNecessity and reasonableness of the endorsement or guarantee.

It can be seen from the above Table that the company's current fundraising plan is for proposed repayment of bank loans which have been used for its working capital. Owing to poor performance of the semiconductor assembly and testing industry in 2015 due to weak demand for terminal devices, as well as adjustment by upstream customers in their inventory and intensifying market competition the company's operating income in 2015 showed slight decline compared to that in 2014. Owing to weak seasonal demand during the first half of 2016 and lack of terminal devices for the semiconductor industry, the company’s operating income showed modest decline. With traditional peak season during the second half of 2016 and sustained demand for smart phones, the company’s income rose during the third quarter. To maintain its normal operation and continue expanding its business scale the company had to seek working capital from financial institutions. Therefore it was necessary and reasonable for the company to undertake the original loans.

kBenefit of original loans

The bank loans which the company proposes to repay following the current fundraising plan were necessary to meet its operating needs. Poor performance of the semicondutor assembly and testing industry in 2015 due to weak demand for terminal devices, as well as adjustment by upstream customers in their inventory and intensifying market competition meant that the company's operating income in 2015 suffered a slight decline compared to that in 2014. Owing to weak seasonal demand during the first half of 2016 and lack of terminal devices for the semiconductor industry, the company’s operating income showed modest decline. With traditional peak season during the second half of 2016 and sustained demand for smart phones, the company’s income rose on quarterly basis. To maintain its

192

normal operation and continue expanding its business it was necessary for the company to obtain working capital from financial institutions. Together with the company's prudent use of its funds, the company's net profit after tax during the first three quarters of 2016 has been steadily growing. Thus the company had benefited from such loans.

(4) If as shown in the Statement of Projected Cash Income and Expenses there are major capital expenses and long-term equity investment which together make up 60% of the fund raised, explanation should be given to their necessity, expected source of fund and benefit:

This fundraising program is projected at NTD10,290,000,000. The company's monthly statements of projected cash income and expenses from December 2016 to December 2017 show that there are no plans for long-term investments; future major capital expenses comprise primarily of general machinery equipment and the procurement, repair, and maintenance of relevant factory works which together make up 60% of the funds raised with NTD653.778 million in factory works, NTD6.334534 billion in machinery equipment for a total of NTD6.988312 billion. The fund sources, usages, and anticipated benefits of these expenses are described below.

From December 2016 to December 2017 in the Company’s cash balance forecast, capital outflow primarily comprises the procurement, repair, and maintenance of general machinery, factory operations, environmental equipment, and related ancillary facilities. This includes NTD653.778 million for factory operations and NTD6.334534 billion for machinery, for a total of NTD6.988312 billion. which are conducted in response to the demands of daily operations and optimization of existing production lines. These measures will in turn improve the product quality and production efficiency of the Company and furthermore reduce production costs and reinforce product competitiveness, and are deemed as indispensable. The necessary funds will be provided by the Company internally.

With regard to other anticipated benefits, general factory works primarily support the normal operations of respective plants and take form in factory facilities such as utilities piping and the procurement, replacement, and maintenance of engineering and ancillary equipment, which contribute toward the improvement of efficiency in daily operations but the benefits of which are intangible and therefore unable to exhibit benefits in the form of revenue or profit increase.

Additionally, in view of the Company’s continuous improvements in packaging and testing technical capacities and the ageing and expired durability of production machinery equipment on an annual basis, routine expenses in the form of repairs, replacements and equipment procurement are incurred annually to maintain the production efficiency and output yield of existing equipment. The benefits of these expenses are to sustain Company production capacity, thereby improving the Company’s technical capabilities and maintaining its industry competitiveness. Projected replacement and routine maintenance costs are approximately NTD1.353954 billion, do not contribute as newly increased production capacity, and as a result will not generate additional revenue or profit.

From December 2016 to December 2017 in the Company’s cash balance forecast includes regular maintenance, replacement, and procurement of environmental equipment and related ancillary facilities, for a total of NTD1.242715 billion. This is expected to continue to improve productivity and maintain existing policies towards environmental protection. It will also help reduce costs and improve the Company’s public image. The predicted reductions in

193

costs due to these environmental procurements will add NTD101.855 million annually to the Company’s net income.

In terms of newly added production equipment costing approximately NTD3.737865 billion, future anticipated benefits on an annual basis and basis of estimate are as described below.

jProduction volume and sales volume

The machinery equipment procured by the Company under this program will be installed and launched for operations on a progressive and ongoing basis and is scheduled to go into mass production in 2017 Q1. Production volume and sales volume are compositely projected by the Company according to past production process experiences, utilization rate, point in time machinery equipment go into mass production, and anticipated major client orders in the coming year in conjunction with future market demand forecasts provided by professional market research institutions. It is estimated that the Company will experience an increase of 192000000 units each in production and sales volumes from 2017 – 2020. In view of the above, the Company’s estimates in production and sales volumes are conducted by referencing the normal production capacities of similar type production equipment currently in use, mass production experiences, level of supplier cooperation and other relevant factors in conjunction with projected schedules for the procurement, installation, trial testing, inspection and acceptance of new machinery and their launch into mass production as well as factors such as future market supply and demand.

kOperation revenue

The estimated sales value of machinery equipment procured by the Company under this program are projected according to past production experiences, point in time in which equipment is scheduled to go into production, production utilization rate in conjunction with future market demand for the estimation of production and sales volumes. Unit price is estimated according to the average unit price of similar products currently manufactured by the Company in consideration of future product price fluctuations. It is estimated that from 2017 to 2020 the Company will experience an increase of NTD11.366078 billion in operating revenue.

ƒGross operating income and net operating income

In terms of gross operating income estimates, the Company adopts the average income ratio contributed by procured machinery equipment as the basis of calculation in conjunction with the impact of market price fluctuations. Based on these premises it is estimated that from 2017 to 2020 the Company will experience an increase of NTD3.973955 billion in gross operating income, which is deemed a reasonable projection. In terms of operating profit, the Company adopts the operating cost ratio of packaging and testing products of approximately 12% over the past year as the basis of calculation. Based on this premise from 2017 to 2020 the Company will experience an increase of NTD2.610026 billion in net operating income.

mFund recovery period

In the Company’s statements of projected cash income and expenses, with regard to the portion of newly added equipment in major capital expenses from December 2016 to December 2017, the projects amount is approximately

194

NTD3.737865 billion. If depreciation costs are added in accordance with operating profit, the estimated fund recovery period is 4 years.

4. With respect to purchase of land for construction, payment of construction cost or contractors' charges, details of such undertaking from the time of purchase to the completion of sale of construction project or contractors' work in terms of the total amount, source of funds covering any shortfall and funding of the respective stages and construction progress, with the time and amount involved for booking profit or loss and explanation on anticipated benefit: Not applicable.

5. In the case of purchase of incomplete works and assumption of contracts unfulfilled by the seller, details on the reasons for assignment by the seller, basis for determination of assignment price and impact of assignment on the contractual parties' rights and duties: Not applicable.

3. Assignment of new shares issued by other companies: Not applicable.

Matters that should be reported for the current issuance of new shares in connection with acquisition or merger: Not applicable.

Please explain reasons for changes in financial ratios in the last two years: (If the increase, decrease or change is less than 20%, the analysis can be exempted.)  1. Decrease in current ratio: Customer inventory closeout and the concurrence of major customer payment dates at the end of 2015 has caused accounts receivable to be lower than those at the end of 2014, thereby reducing current asset. Increase in current liabilitie is because of increase at the end of 2014 in others payable (related party) and corporate debt due within one year. Together with decrease in current asset, the increase in current liabilities has caused decrease in current ratio.  2. Decrease in quick ratio: Customer inventory closeout and the concurrence of major customer payment dates at the end of 2015 has caused accounts receivable to be lower than those at the end of 2014, thereby reducing quick asset. Increase in current liabilitie is because of increase at the end of 2014 in others payable (related party) and corporate debt due within one year. Together with decrease in current asset, the increase in current liabilities has caused decrease in quick ratio.  3. Decrease in interest coverage ratio: This is mainly because profit is affected by product portfolio adjustments in 2015.  4. Decrease in return on assets: This is because net profit after tax is affected by product portfolio adjustments in 2015.  5. Decrease in return on shareholder's equity This is because net profit after tax is affected by product portfolio adjustments in 2015.  6. Increase in operating leverage: This is because of higher operating income in 2015 than in 2014.

Note 2: As at September 30, 2016 the company has completed identification of the difference between its investment cost and the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. following which it has made retrospective adjustments to its 2015 financial statement. Folowing adjustments the financial analysis is as follows: Debt-asset ratio 48.76%, long-term fund to property, plant and equipment 258.78%, interest cover ratio 20.49, return on assets 7.1%, return on shareholders equity 12.51%, net profit before tax as a percentage of paid-up capital 27.97%, net profit margin 20.38% and earning per share (with retroactive adjustment) NTD2.51.

Note 3: Calculation formula for financial analysis:

1. Financial structure

(1) Asset-debt ratio = Total assets/Total liabilities

(2) Long-term fund to property, plant and equipment = (Total equity + non-current liabilities)/Net property, plants and equipment

2. Solvency

(1) Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities.

(2) Quick ratio = (current assets – inventory – prepaid expense) / current liabilities.

(3) Times interest earned = net income before income tax and interest expense / current interest expense.

3. Operating ability

205

(1) Receivable (including accounts receivable and business-related notes receivable) turnover ratio = net operating revenue / average balance of receivable of the period (including accounts receivable and business-related notes receivable).

(2) Average days of collection = 365 / receivables turnover ratio.

(3) Inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average amount of inventory.

(4) Payable (including accounts payable and business-related notes payable) turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average balance of payable of the period (including accounts payable and business-related notes payable).

(5) Average days of sales = 365 / inventory turnover ratio.

(6) Property, plants and equipment turnover ratio = Net sales/Net average property, plants and equipment

(7) Total assets turnover ratio = net sales / total assets.

4. Profitability

(1) Return on assets ＝ [net income + interest expense (1– tax rate)] / average total assets.

(2) Return on shareholder’s equity＝ net profit and loss / net average shareholders’ equity.

(3) Net profit margin = net income / net sales.

(4) Earnings per share ＝ (Profit and loss attributable to owner of parent company - dividend to special stock) / weighted average of shares issued.

5. Cash flows

(1) Cash flow ratio = new cash flows from operating activities / current liabilities.

(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = net cash flows from operating activities in the past five years / (capital expenditure + increase in inventory + cash dividend) in the past five years.

(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (Net cash flows from operating activities – cash dividend) / (gross property, plants and equipment + long-term investment + other non-current assets + working capital).

6. Leverage

(1) Operating leverage = (Net operating income – variable operating cost and expenses) / operating income

(2) Financial leverage = operating income / (operating income – interest expense).

Note 1: For fiscal years 2013-2016 the company's financial reports are compiled in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), therefore there are no financial reports that have been compiled in accordance with local accounting standards.

Note 2: Calculation formula for financial analysis:

1. Financial structure

(1) Debt-to-asset ratio = total liabilities / total assets.

(2) Long-term fund to fixed assets ratio＝(net shareholders’ equity + long-term debt) / net fixed assets.

2. Solvency

(1) Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities.

(2) Quick ratio = (current assets – inventory – prepaid expense) / current liabilities.

(3) Times interest earned = net income before income tax and interest expense / current interest expense.

3. Operating ability

(1) Receivable (including accounts receivable and business-related notes receivable) turnover ratio = net operating revenue / average balance of receivable of the period (including accounts receivable and business-related notes receivable).

208

(2) Average days of collection = 365 / receivables turnover ratio.

(3) Inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average amount of inventory.

(4) Accounts payable (including accounts payable and business-related notes payable) turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / average balance of payable during the period (including accounts payable and business-related notes payable).

(5) Average days of sales = 365 / inventory turnover ratio.

(6) Fixed assets turnover ratio＝net sales / net fixed assets.

(7) Total assets turnover ratio = net sales / total assets.

4. Profitability

(1) Return on assets ＝ [net income + interest expense (1– tax rate)] / average total assets.

(2) Return on shareholder’s equity＝ net income / net average shareholders’ equity.

(3) Net profit margin = net income / net sales.

(4) Earnings per share ＝ (net income - dividend to preferred stock) / weighted average of shares issued.

5. Cash flows

(1) Cash flow ratio = new cash flows from operating activities / current liabilities.

(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = net cash flows from operating activities in the past five years / (capital expenditure + increase in inventory + cash dividend) in the past five years.

(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash flows from operating activities – cash dividend) / (gross fixed assets + long-term investment + other assets + working capital).

6. Leverage

(1) Operating leverage = (net operating income – variable operating cost and expenses) / operating income

(2) Financial leverage = operating income / (operating income – interest expense).

209

(6) Description of material changes in accounts Compare the accounts of the balance sheet and income statement of the most recent two fiscal years. If the change in the amount is 10% or more and the amount is 1% of the total assets of the current fiscal year, the reasons for the change should be analyzed in details.

Explanation for major changes: (for changes of more than 20%, with the amount involved being NTD10 million) (1) Increase in non-operating income and expense: This is mainly because of increased profit in 2015 for financial tools whose profit and loss was measured using fair market value compared to those in the previous year. (2) Decrease in other comprehensive income (net income after tax) This is mainly because of decrease in 2015 of conversion difference in financial statements of overseas operating units.

There was therefore decrease in net operating profit and conversion difference in financial statements of overseas operating units in 2015.

(Concluded)

Note : Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after the respective effective dates.

Except for the following, whenever applied, the initial application of the above 2013 IFRSs version and the related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:

1) IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”

IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in the current standards.

2) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements. It defines fair value,

-13-

establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards, for example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

The fair value measurements under IFRS 13 will be applied prospectively from January 1, 2015.

3) Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”

The amendments to IAS 1 requires items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those items that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Under current IAS 1, there were no such requirements.

The Group retrospectively will apply the above amendments starting in 2015. Items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss are remeasurements of the defined benefit plans and share of remeasurements of the defined benefit plans of associates accounted for using the equity method. Items that may be reclassified to profit or loss are the exchange differences on translating foreign operations, unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets, cash flow hedges, and share of other comprehensive income (except the share of the remeasurements of the defined benefit plans) of associates accounted for using the equity method. However, the application of the above amendments will not have any impact on the net profit, other comprehensive income (net of income tax), and total comprehensive income for the period.

4) Revision to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

Revised IAS 19 requires the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminates the “corridor approach” permitted under current IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. The revision requires all remeasurements of the defined benefit plans to be recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. Remeasurement of the defined benefit plans is presented separately as other equity. The Group has not determinated the presentation of the changes in defined benefit obligations.

Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in current IAS 19 are replaced with a “net interest” amount, which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. In addition, the revised IAS 19 introduces certain changes in the presentation of the defined benefit cost, and also includes more extensive disclosures.

On initial application of the revised IAS 19 in 2015, the changes in cumulative employee benefit costs as of January 1, 2013 resulting from the retrospective application are adjusted to accrued pension cost, deferred tax assets, capital surplus, retained earnings and non-controlling interests; however, the carrying amount of inventory is not adjusted. In addition, in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Group would elect not to present 2014 comparative information about the sensitivity analysis of the defined benefit obligation. The anticipated impact of the initial application is set out below:

5) Amendment to IFRS 7 “Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”

The amendments to IFRS 7 require disclosure of information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under enforceable master netting arrangements and similar arrangements.

6) Amendment to IAS 32 “Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”

The amendments to IAS 32 clarify the requirements relating to the offset of financial assets and financial liabilities. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and “simultaneous realization and settlement”.

7) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2009-2011 Cycle

Several standards including IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”, IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” were amended in this annual improvement.

The amendments to IAS 1 clarify that an entity is required to present a balance sheet as at the beginning of the preceding period when a) it applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, and b) the retrospective application, restatement or reclassification has a material effect on the information in the balance sheet at the beginning of the preceding period. The amendments also clarify that related notes are not required to accompany the balance sheet at the beginning of the preceding period.

The initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 IFRSs version in 2015 is expected to have material effect on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2014. In preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Group would present the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2014 in accordance of the above amendments to IAS 1 and disclose related information in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, but not required to make disclosures about the line items of the balance sheet as of January 1, 2014.

Note 3: Prospectively applicable to transactions occurring in annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

The initial application of the above New IFRSs, whenever applied, would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies, except for the following:

1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below:

For the Group’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows:

-17-

a) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;

b) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

Except for above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. However, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

The impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

Hedge accounting

The main changes in hedge accounting amended the application requirements for hedge accounting to better reflect the entity’s risk management activities. Compared with IAS 39, the main changes include: (1) enhancing types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the risk eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way hedging derivative instruments are accounted for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness assessment with the principle of economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.

2) Amendment to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets”

In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made consequential amendment to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that such disclosure of recoverable amounts is required only when an

-18-

impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, the Group is required to disclose the discount rate used in measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.

3) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations from January 1, 2017.

When applying IFRS 15, an entity shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps:

— Identify the contract with the customer;

— Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

— Determine the transaction price;

— Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and

— Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

When IFRS 15 is effective, the Group may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

4) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendments stipulated that, when the Group sells or contributes assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full.

Conversely, when the Group sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture, i.e. the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business but retains significant influence or joint control in an associate or a joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture, i.e. the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.

5) Amendment to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative

The amendment clarifies that the consolidated financial statements should be prepared for the purpose of disclosing material information. To improve the understandability of its consolidated financial statements, the Group should disaggregate the disclosure of material items into their different natures or functions, and disaggregate material information from immaterial information.

The amendment further clarifies that the Group should consider the understandability and comparability of its consolidated financial statements to determine a systematic order in presenting its footnotes.

-19-

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were approved for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and results of operations, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC.

b. Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for the assets.

c. Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include cash and cash equivalents and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date, unless the asset is to be used for an exchange or to settle a liability, or otherwise remains restricted, at more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date and liabilities that do not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

The Group engages in the construction business which has an operating cycle of over one year. The normal operating cycle applies when considering the classification of the Group’s construction-related assets and liabilities.

d. Basis of Consolidation

1) Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. its subsidiaries).

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

Attribution of total comprehensive income to non-controlling interests

Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

-20-

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. 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 and attributed to the owners of the Company.

e. Business Combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized on the same basis as would be required if that interest were directly disposed of by the Group.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

The Group does not apply the acquisition method to account for business combinations involving entities under common control.

f. Foreign Currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary assets (such as equity instruments) or liabilities measured at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period at the rates prevailing at the balance sheet date except for exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the

-25-

period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate.

On the disposal of the Group’s foreign operation that result in the Group losing control , joint control or significant influence over the foreign operation, all of the equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

g. Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

h. Inventories and Inventories Related to Real Estate Business

Inventories, including raw materials (materials received from customers for processing, mainly semiconductor wafers, are excluded from inventories as title and risk of loss remain with the customers), supplies, work in process, finished goods, and materials and supplies in transit are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Raw materials and supplies are recorded at moving average cost while work in process and finished goods are recorded at standard cost.

Inventories related to real estate business include land and buildings held for sale, land held for construction, construction in progress and prepayment for land use rights. Land held for development is recorded as land held for construction upon obtaining the title of ownership. The prepayment is recorded as prepayments for land use right before obtaining the title of ownership. Prior to the completion, the borrowing costs directly attributable to construction in progress are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. Construction in progress is transferred to land and buildings held for sale upon completion. Land and buildings held for sale, construction in progress and land held for construction are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and related write-downs are made by item. The amounts received in advance for real estate properties are first recorded as advance receipts and then recognized as revenue when the construction is completed and the title and significant risk of the real estate properties are transferred to customers. Cost of sales of land and buildings held for sale are recognized based on the ratio of property sold to the total property developed.

i. Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method

Investments accounted for using the equity method include investments in associates. An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is not a subsidiary. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee without having control over those policies.

The operating results as well as assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of equity of associates.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized.

When a group entity transacts with its associate, unrealized profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are eliminated.

-26-

j. Property, Plant and Equipment

Except for land which is stated at cost, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. If the lease term is shorter than the useful lives, assets are depreciated over the lease term.

Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

k. Goodwill

Goodwill arising from an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

l. Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets with finite useful lives acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed or using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, residual value and amortization methods are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed to be zero unless the Group expects to dispose of the intangible asset before the end of its economic life. The effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

-27-

Other intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date which is regarded as their cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognized in profit or loss.

m. Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill (see above), to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

n. Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on a settlement date basis.

a) Measurement category

The classification of financial assets held by the Group depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

i Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial assets are either held for trading or they are designated as at FVTPL.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

• Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

-28-

• The financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

• It forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.

ii Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held-to-maturity investments or (c) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets are stated at fair value at each balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets is reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

iii Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, other financial assets and debt investments with no active market are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

b) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are 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 financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the investments have been affected.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as trade receivables and other receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, further, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. The Group assesses the collectability of receivables based on the Group’s past experience of collecting payments and observable changes that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the assets’ carrying amounts and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial assets’ original effective interest rates. If, in a

-29-

subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decreases can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed either directly or by adjusting an allowance account through profit or loss. The reversal shall not result in carrying amounts of financial assets that exceed what the amortized cost would have been at the date the impairment is reversed.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period. In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets.

c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

2) Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are measured either at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL. Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL are held for trading.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gain or loss arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any interest or dividend paid on the financial liability.

The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

4) Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each balance sheet date. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as financial liabilities.

-30-

Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

5) Convertible bonds

Convertible bonds issued by the Company that contain liability, conversion option, redemption option and put option (collectively the “Bonds Options”) components are classified separately into respective items on initial recognition. The conversion option that will be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or other financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments is classified as a conversion option derivative. At the date of offering, both the liability and the Bonds Options components are recognized at fair value.

In subsequent periods, the liability component of the convertible bonds is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Bonds Options are measured at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

Transaction costs that relate to the offering of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability and the Bonds Options components in proportion to their relative fair values. Transaction costs relating to the Bonds Options are recognized immediately in profit or loss. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and amortized using the effective interest method.

o. Hedge Accounting

The Group designates certain hedging instruments as cash flow hedges. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedges. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Group revokes the designated hedging relationship, or when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instruments that has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income from the period when the hedge was effective remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

p. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable take into account of estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

1) Sale of goods and real estate properties

Revenue from the sale of goods and real estate properties is recognized when the goods and real estate properties are delivered and titles have passed, at the time all the following conditions are satisfied:

-31-

— The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and real estate properties;

— The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods and real estate properties sold;

— The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;

— It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and

— The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be reliably measured.

2) Rendering of services

Service income is recognized when services are rendered.

3) Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments and interest income from financial assets are recognized when they are probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be reliably measured. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

q. Leasing

The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

The Group as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the consolidated balance sheets as a finance lease obligation.

Operating lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

r. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

s. Government grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct

-32-

or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue in the consolidated financial statements and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

t. Retirement Benefit Costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method. All actuarial gains and losses on the defined benefit obligation are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income.

u. Share-based Payment Arrangements

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's best estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options.

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews its estimate of the number of employee share options expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital surplus - employee share options.

v. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1) Current tax

Income tax on unappropriated earnings (excluding earnings from foreign consolidated subsidiaries) at a rate of 10% is expensed in the year the earnings arise and adjusted to the extent that distributions are approved by the shareholders in the following year.

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

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused loss carry-forward and unused tax credits for purchases of machinery and equipment to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

-33-

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of deferred tax assets to be utilized. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at each balance sheet date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which assets are realized or the liabilities are settled. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.

3) Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 4, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Impairment of Goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from cash-generating units and suitable discount rates in order to calculate its present value. When the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill

In evaluating the impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill, the Group is required to make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows, useful lives, expected future revenue and expenses related to the specific asset groups with the consideration of its usage patterns and the nature of semiconductor industry. Any changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions or business strategies could result in significant impairment charges in future periods.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and the net realizable value of inventory at balance sheet date is determined based on Group’s judgments and estimates.

Due to the rapid technology changes, the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventory for obsolescent and unmarketable items at balance sheet date and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. There may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories due to assumptions of future demand within a specific time period.

Income Taxes

The reliability of deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available. In cases where the actual future profits generated are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which would be recognized in profit or loss for the period in which such a reversal takes place.

Recognition and Measurement of Defined Benefit Plans

Accrued pension liabilities and the resulting pension expenses under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial assumptions comprise discount rates and expected rates of salary increase. Changes in economic circumstances and market conditions will affect these assumptions and may have a material impact on the amount of the expense and the liability.

Fair value measurements and valuation processes of Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments

As disclosed in Note 32, the Group’s management uses its judgments applying appropriate valuation techniques commonly applied by market practitioners. The assumptions applied are based on observable quoted market prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates to the extent it is available. The fair value of unquoted equity instruments is estimated based on the assumptions supported by unobservable market prices and interest rates which are disclosed in Note 32. The Group’s management believes that the valuation techniques and the assumptions applied are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FOR HEDGING

The Group entered into interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedge to mitigate exposures to future cash flow fluctuations resulting from interest rate changes from the Group’s borrowings.

At each balance sheet date, the outstanding interest rate swap contracts of the Group were as follows:

Maturity Period	Notional Amount  (In Thousands)	Interest Rates Paid (%)	Interest Rates Received (%)	Expected Period for  Future Cash  Flow	Expected Period for the Recognition of Gains or Losses from  Hedging
December 31, 2013
2014.04	CNY 240,000	2.00	1.05-2.80	2014	2014

ll interest rate swap contracts exchanging floating interest rates for fixed interest rates were designated as cash flow hedges in order to reduce the Group's cash flow exposure to loating interest rates on borrowings. The interest rate swaps and the interest payments on the borrowings occur simultaneously and the amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss over the period that the floating rate interest payments on the borrowings affect profit or loss.

a. Trade receivables

The Group’s average credit terms were 30 to 90 days. Allowance for doubtful debts is assessed by reference to the collectability of receivables by evaluating the account aging, historical experience and current financial condition of customers.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, except that the Group’s five largest customers accounted for 30% and 21% of accounts receivable, respectively, the concentration of credit risk is insignificant for the remaining accounts receivable.

Except for those impaired, the Group had not provided an allowance for doubtful debts on trade receivables at each balance sheet date since there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered collectible. The Group did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances nor did it have a legal right to offset against any amounts owed by the Group to counterparties.

SCT	-	33.3%

b. In January 2014, the Company subscribed for 20,000 thousand private-placement ordinary shares of AMPI in NT$100,000 thousand. The Company obtained significant influence over AMPI since the percentage of ownership was increased to 27.4% after taking into account the shares previously held which were recognized as available-for-sale financial assets. The private-placement ordinary shares were restricted for disposal during a 3-year lock-up period. In addition, the Company did not join AMPI’s cash capital increase in February and April 2014 and, as the result, the percentage of ownership decreased from 27.4% to 18.2%. After the consideration of potential voting rights that are currently convertible, the Company still has significant influence over AMPI.

c. The Company did not subscribe for SCT’s cash capital increase in May 2014 and, therefore, the percentage of ownership decreased from 33.3% to 5.6%. As the result, the Company had no significant influence over SCT and the investment in SCT was reclassified to available-for-sale financial assets.

-54-

The premium from ordinary shares issued in excess of par, including the premium from issuance of ordinary shares, treasury share transactions and carrying amount of expired options, may be used to offset deficits; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to capital up to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus each year.

The capital surplus arising from investments accounted for using the equity method and employee share options may not be used for any purpose.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

The Articles of Incorporation of ASE Inc. (the “Articles”) provides that annual net income shall be distributed in the following order:

1) Replenishment of deficits;

2) 10.0% as legal reserve;

3) Special reserve appropriated or reversed in accordance with laws or regulations set forth by the authorities concerned;

4) An amount equal to the excess of the income from investments accounted for using the equity method over cash dividends as special reserve;

5) Addition or deduction of realized gains or losses on equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income;

6) Not more than 1.0% of the remainder, from 1) to 5), as remuneration to directors and supervisors;

7) Between 7.0% to 11.0% of the remainder, from 1) to 5), as bonus to employees, of which 7.0% shall be distributed in accordance with the employee bonus plan and the excess shall be distributed to specified employees at the board of directors’ discretion; and

8) Any remainder from above as dividends to shareholders.

Employees to whom referred in 7) above include employees of subsidiaries that meet certain conditions, which are to be determined by the board of directors.

The Company is currently in the mature growth stage. To meet the capital needs for business development now and in the future and satisfy the shareholders’ demand for cash inflows, the Company shall use residual dividend policy to distribute dividends, of which the cash dividend is not lower than 30% of the total dividend distribution, with the remainder to be distributed in stock. A distribution plan is also to be made by the board of directors and passed for resolution in the shareholders’ meeting.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the accrued bonus to employees of the Company was NT$2,335,786 thousand and NT$1,586,672 thousand, respectively, and the accrued remuneration to directors and supervisors of the Company was NT$212,344 thousand and NT$144,243 thousand, respectively.

Material differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts proposed by the board of directors on or before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue are adjusted in the year the bonus and remuneration were recognized. If there is a change in the proposed amounts after the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue, the differences are recorded 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 the share bonus

-55-

by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares of the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

Under Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, the Company should appropriate or reverse to a special reserve. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and thereafter distributed.

Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s capital surplus. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s capital surplus, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

The appropriations of earnings for 2013 and 2012 resolved at the Company’s annual shareholders’ meetings in June 2014 and June 2013, respectively, were as follows:

	Appropriation of Earnings					Dividends Per Share

The differences between the resolved amounts of the bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors and the accrued amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were deemed changes in estimates. The difference was NT$385 thousand and NT$38,644 thousand and had been adjusted in earnings for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

h. Unrecognized deferred tax liabilities associated with investments

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries for which no deferred tax liabilities have been recognized were NT$11,400,826 thousand and NT$9,326,560 thousand, respectively.

i. Integrated income tax

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, unappropriated earnings were all generated on and after January 1, 1998. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the balance of the Imputation Credit Account (“ICA”) was NT$934,038 thousand and NT$733,341 thousand, respectively.

The creditable ratio for the distribution of earnings of 2014 and 2013 was 6.19% (estimated) and 6.10% (actual), respectively.

Under the Integrated Income Tax System, ROC resident shareholders are allowed a tax credit for their proportionate share of the income tax paid in the ROC by the Company on earnings generated after January 1, 1998. Non-resident shareholders are allowed only a tax credit from the 10% income tax on undistributed earnings, which can be used to reduce the withholding income tax on dividends. Starting from 2015, the allowed tax credit is adjusted to 50% of the income tax paid in the ROC by the Company for ROC resident shareholders or 50% of the 10% income tax on undistributed earnings for non-resident shareholders. An ICA is maintained by the Company for such income tax and the tax credit allocated to each shareholder. The maximum credit available for allocation to each shareholder cannot exceed the balance shown in the ICA on the date of dividend distribution. The expected creditable ratio for the 2014 earnings may be adjusted, depending on the ICA balance on the date of dividend distribution.

j. Income tax assessments

Income tax returns of ASE Inc. and its subsidiaries in Taiwan have been examined by authorities through 2012 and through 2010 to 2012, respectively. ASE Inc. and some of its subsidiaries in Taiwan disagreed with the result of examinations relating to its income tax returns for 2004 through 2008 and 2010 through 2012 and applied for appeal procedures. The related income tax expenses in the years resulting from the examinations have been accrued in respective tax years.

25. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The earnings and weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding in the computation of earnings per share were as follows:

Net profit for the year

	For the Years Ended December 31
	2014			2013
	NT$			NT$
Profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company	$	23,592,667		$	15,689,074
Effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares:
Employee share options issued by subsidiaries		(260,925	)		(131,756	)
Convertible bonds		931,344			156,193
Earnings used in the computation of diluted earnings per share	$	24,263,086		$	15,713,511

eighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (in thousand shares):

	For the Years Ended December 31
	2014		2013
Weighted average number of ordinary shares in computation of basic earnings per share		7,687,930		7,508,539
Effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares:
Convertible bonds		375,271		117,085
Employee share options		101,850		67,081
Bonus to employees		55,643		54,926
Weighted average number of ordinary shares in computation of diluted earnings per share		8,220,694		7,747,631

The Group is able to settle the bonuses paid to employees in cash or shares. The Group assumed that the entire amount of the bonus would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the shareholders approve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

26. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

a. Employee share option plans of the Company and its subsidiaries

In order to attract, retain and reward employees, ASE Inc. has four employee share option plans for full-time employees of the Group. Each share option represents the right to purchase one ordinary share of ASE Inc. when exercised. Under the terms of the plans, share options are granted at an exercise price equal to or not less than the closing price of the ordinary shares listed on the TSE at the grant date. The option rights of these plans are valid for 10 years, non-transferable and exercisable at certain percentages subsequent to the second anniversary of the grant date. For any subsequent changes in the Company’s capital structure, the exercise price is accordingly adjusted.

In December 2014, the board of directors approved the 5^th employee share option plan.

b. Fair value of share options

Share options granted by the Group were measured using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model or the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s Trinomial Tree Model (1995), and the inputs to the models were as follows:

	ASE Inc.	ASE Mauritius Inc.	USIE
Share price/market price at the grant date	NT$28.60-30.65	US$1.7	US$1.53-2.62
Exercise prices	NT$28.60-30.65	US$1.7	US$1.53-2.94
Expected volatility	28.59%-40.82%	47.21%	32.48%-42.58%
Expected lives	10 years	10 years	10-12 years
Expected dividend yield	3.00%-4.00%	-	-
Risk free interest rates	1.56%-2.51%	3.87%-3.90%	1.63%-4.02%

Expected volatility was based on the historical share price volatility over the past 10 years of ASE Inc. and the comparable companies of ASE Mauritius Inc. and USIE, respectively. Under the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s Trinomial Tree Model (1995) to allow for the effects of early exercise, the Group assumed that employees would exercise the options after vesting date when the share price was 1.58-1.69 times the exercise price.

In December 2014 and 2013, USIE had modified the terms of its option plan granted in 2007 to extend the valid period from 11 years to 12 years and from 10 years to 11 years, respectively. The incremental fair value of NT$10,378 thousand and NT$15,497 thousand were all recognized as employee benefits expense in 2014 and 2013, respectively, since the options were all vested.

Employee benefits expense recognized on employee share options was NT$110,157 thousand and NT$234,093 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

c. New shares issued under cash capital increase reserved for subscription by employees

In July 2013, the board of directors approved the cash capital increase and, as required under the Company Act of the ROC, simultaneously granted options to employees to purchase 15% of such newly issued shares with such options exercisable within 3 days and vested when granted. The grant of the options was treated as employee options, accordingly a share-based compensation, and measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 2. The Group recognized employee benefits expense and capital surplus of NT$26,708 thousand in full at the grant date (also the vested date), of which 1,960 thousand shares had not been vested, therefore, NT$3,626 thousand was reclassified from capital surplus-employee share options to capital surplus-issuance of ordinary shares.

Information about the Company’s employee share options related to the aforementioned newly issued shares was as follows:

	Number of Options (In Thousand)			Fair Value (NT$)
Balance at January 1, 2013		-		$	-
Options granted		14,437			1.85
Options exercised		(12,477	)		1.85
Options forfeited		(1,960	)		-
Balance at December 31, 2013		-			-

-68-

Fair value was measured using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the inputs to the model were as follows:

Share price at the grant date	NT$27.95 per share
Exercise price	NT$26.10 per share
Expected volatility	17.98%
Expected lives	3 days
Expected dividend yield	-
Risk free interest rate	0.57%

Expected volatility was based on the Company’s historical share prices volatility.

28. EQUITY TRANSACTION WITH NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

In November 2014, USISH completed its cash capital increase of CNY2,017,690 thousand and the Group’s shareholdings of USISH decreased from 88.6% to 82.1% since the Group did not subscribe for additional new shares.

31. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt and equity. The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. Key management personnel of the Group periodically reviews the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. In order to balance the overall capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, the number of new shares issued or repurchased, and the amount of new debt issued or existing debt redeemed.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements except those discussed in Note 18.

32. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Fair value of financial instruments

1) Fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

Except bonds payable measured at amortized cost, the management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value approximate their fair values.

The carrying amounts and fair value of bonds payable as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were as follows:

	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
		NT$		NT$
December 31, 2014	$	31,270,131	$	31,702,988
December 31, 2013		21,314,005		21,913,590

2) Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated balance sheets

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

a) Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

b) Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

c) Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for those assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

3) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements of financial assets

The financial assets measured at Level 3 fair value were equity investments with no quoted prices classified as available-for-sale financial assets - non-current. Reconciliations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31
	2014			2013
	NT$			NT$
Balance at January 1	$	797,162		$	776,683
Purchases		38,793			73,358

(Concluded)

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, unrealized loss of NT$21,519 thousand and unrealized gain of NT$20,175 thousand, recorded in other comprehensive income under the heading of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets, were included in the carrying amount of the financial assets at fair value on Level 3 fair value measurement.

4) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities were determined as follows:

a) The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets were determined with reference to quoted market prices (includes quoted shares and open-end mutual funds). The fair value of private-placement shares was derived using quoted market prices and adjusted for the liquidity discount due to the selling restrictions relating to the lock-up period. The liquidity discount was the option value using the Black-Scholes Model with all observable inputs.

b) The fair values of derivative instruments were calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices were not available, a discounted cash flow analysis was performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives. These models use market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies to project fair value. The estimates and assumptions used by the Group were consistent with those that market participants would use in pricing financial instruments.

c) The fair value of the Group’s investments in unquoted shares on Level 3 fair value measurement were measured using market approach based on investees’ recent financing activities, technical development, valuation of investees comparable companies, market conditions and other economic indicators.

d) Except the aforementioned, the fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities were measured using the generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis.

Note 1: The balances included loans and receivables measured at amortized cost which comprised cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and other financial assets.

Note 2: The balances included financial liabilities measured at amortized cost which comprised short-term borrowings, trade and other payables, bonds payable, long-term borrowings and long-term payables.

c. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The derivative instruments used by the Group are to mitigate risks arising from ordinary business operations. All derivative transactions entered into by the Group are designated as either hedging or trading. Derivative transactions entered into for hedging purposes must hedge risk against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates arising from operating activities. The currencies and the amount of derivative instruments held by the Group must match its hedged assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The Group’s risk management department monitors risks to mitigate risk exposures, reports unsettled position, transaction balances and related gains or losses to the Group’s chief financial officer on monthly basis.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Gains or losses arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of a variety of derivative financial instruments were approximately offset by those of hedged items. Interest rate risk was not significant due to the cost of capital was expected to be fixed.

There had been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

a) Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The Group had sales and purchases as well as financing activities denominated in foreign currency which exposed the Group to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Group entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk to minimize the fluctuations of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities (including those eliminated upon consolidation) as well as derivative instruments which exposed the Group to foreign currency exchange rate risk at each balance sheet date are presented in Note 37.

-75-

The Group was principally subject to the impact to exchange rate fluctuation in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen against NT$ or Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“CNY”). 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency exchange rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included financial assets and liabilities and inter-company receivables and payables within the Group. The changes in profit before income tax due to a 1% change in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen both against NT$ and CNY would be NT$41,000 thousand and NT$15,000 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Hedging contracts and hedged items have been taken into account while measuring the changes in profit before income tax. The abovementioned sensitivity analysis mainly focused on the foreign currency monetary items at the end of the year. As the year-end exposure did not reflect the exposure for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the abovementioned sensitivity analysis was unrepresentative of those years.

b) Interest rate risk

Except a portion of long-term bonds payable at fixed interest rates, the Group was exposed to interest rate risk because group entities borrowed funds at floating interest rates. Changes in market interest rates will lead to variances in effective interest rates of borrowings from which the future cash flow fluctuations arise.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at each balance sheet date were as follows:

	December 31
	2014		2013
	NT$		NT$
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial liabilities	$	34,003,038	$	22,186,535
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets		51,603,455		46,206,830
Financial liabilities		65,149,698		78,502,073

For assets and liabilities with floating interest rates, a 100 basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel. If interest rates had been 100 basis points (1%) higher or lower and all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 would have decreased or increased approximately by NT$135,000 thousand and NT$323,000 thousand, respectively.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity or debt price risk through its investments in financial assets at FVTPL, including private-placement convertible bonds, quoted shares, and open-end mutual funds, and available-for-sale financial assets. If equity or debt prices were 1% higher or lower, profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 would have increased or decreased approximately by NT$6,800 thousand and NT$3,100 thousand, respectively, and other comprehensive income before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 would have increased or decreased approximately by NT$25,000 thousand and NT$35,000 thousand, respectively.

In addition, the Group was also exposed to the Company’s ordinary share price risk through Bonds Options recognized as financial liabilities held for trading. 7% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting price risk internally to key management personnel. If the Company’s

-76-

ordinary share price increased or decreased by 7%, profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2014 would have decreased approximately by NT$651,000 thousand and increased approximately by NT$608,000 thousand, respectively.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, receivables and other financial assets. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk was the carrying amounts of financial assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Group dealt with counterparties creditworthy and has a credit policy and trade receivable management procedures to ensure recovery and evaluation of trade receivables. The Group’s counterparties consisted of a large number of customers and banks and there was no significant concentration of credit risk exposure.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate working capital and banking facilities to fulfill the demand for cash flow used in the Group’s operation and capital expenditure. The Group also monitors its compliance with all the loan covenants. Liquidity risk is not considered to be significant.

In the table below, financial liabilities with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of counter-parties choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amounts were derived from the interest rates at each balance sheet date.

The following table detailed the Group’s liquidity analysis for its derivative financial instruments. The table was based on the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted gross cash inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amounts payable or receivable are not fixed,

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by board of directors on March 16, 2016.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS

a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 version of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC), and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) endorsed by the FSC

Rule No. 1030029342 and Rule No. 1030010325 issued by the FSC on April 3, 2014, stipulated that the Group should apply the 2013 version of IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed by the FSC and the related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers starting January 1, 2015.

Except for the following, whenever applied, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 version of IFRSs would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:

- 11 - 

1) IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”

IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in the current standards.

2) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive, for example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

The fair value measurements under IFRS 13 will be applied prospectively from January 1, 2015. Refer to Note 30 for related disclosures.

3) Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”

The amendments to IAS 1 requires items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those items that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Under current IAS 1, there were no such requirements.

The Group retrospectively applied the above amendments starting in 2015. Items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss are remeasurements of the defined benefit plans and share of remeasurements of the defined benefit plans of associates accounted for using the equity method. Items that may be reclassified to profit or loss are the exchange differences on translating foreign operations, unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets, cash flow hedges, and share of the other comprehensive income (except the share of the remeasurements of the defined benefit plans) of associates accounted for using the equity method. However, the application of the above amendments will not have any impact on the net profit, other comprehensive income (net of income tax), and total comprehensive income for the period.

4) Revision to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

Revised IAS 19 requires the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminates the “corridor approach” permitted under current IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. The revision requires all remeasurements of the defined benefit plans to be recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. Remeasurement of the defined benefit plans is presented separately as other equity.

Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in current IAS 19 are replaced with a “net interest” amount, which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. In addition, the revised IAS 19 introduces certain changes in the presentation of the defined benefit cost, and also includes more extensive disclosures.

On initial application of the revised IAS 19, the changes in cumulative employee benefit costs as of January 1, 2014 resulting from the retrospective application are adjusted to net defined benefit liabilities, deferred tax assets, capital surplus, retained earnings, other equity and non-controlling interests; however, the carrying amount of inventory is not adjusted. In addition, in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Group elects not to present 2014 comparative information about the sensitivity analysis of the defined benefit

obligation.

The initial application of the revised IAS 19 has no material impact on the current period. The impact on the prior reporting periods is set out below:

5) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2009-2011 Cycle

Several standards including IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”, IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” were amended in this annual improvement.

The amendments to IAS 1 clarify that an entity is required to present a balance sheet as at the beginning of the preceding period when a) it applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, and b) the retrospective application, restatement or reclassification has a material effect on the information in the balance sheet at the beginning of the preceding period. The amendments also clarify that related notes are not required to accompany the balance sheet at the beginning of the preceding period.

The initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 version of IFRSs in 2015 has material effect on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2014. In preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Group would present the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2014 in accordance of the above amendments to IAS 1 and disclose related information in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, but the Group is not required to make disclosures about the line items of the balance sheet as of January 1, 2014.

b. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed by the FSC

On March 10, 2016, the FSC announced the scope of the 2016 version of IFRSs to be endorsed and will take effect from January 1, 2017. The scope includes all IFRSs that were issued by the IASB before January 1, 2016 and have effective dates on or before January 1, 2017, which means the scope excludes those that are not yet effective as of January 1, 2017 such as IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and those with undetermined effective date. In addition, the FSC announced that the Group should apply IFRS 15 starting January 1, 2018. As of the date the consolidated financial statements were approved for issue, the FSC has not announced the effective dates of other new, amended and revised standards and interpretations.

The Group has not applied the following New IFRSs issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC.

The initial application of the above New IFRSs, whenever applied, would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies, except for the following:

1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below:

For the Group’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are

- 15 - 

as follows:

a) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;

b) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

Except for above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. However, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

The impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

Hedge accounting

The main changes in hedge accounting amended the application requirements for hedge accounting to better reflect the entity’s risk management activities. Compared with IAS 39, the main changes include: (1) enhancing types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the risk eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way hedging derivative instruments are accounted for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness assessment with the principle of economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.

2) Amendment to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets”

In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made consequential amendment to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The

- 16 - 

amendment clarifies that such disclosure of recoverable amounts is required only when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, the Group is required to disclose the discount rate used in measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.

3) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations from January 1, 2017.

When applying IFRS 15, an entity shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps:

Ÿ Identify the contract with the customer;

Ÿ Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

Ÿ Determine the transaction price;

Ÿ Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and

Ÿ Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

When IFRS 15 is effective, the Group may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

4) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendments stipulated that, when the Group sells or contributes assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full.

Conversely, when the Group sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture, i.e. the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business but retains significant influence or joint control in an associate or a joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture, i.e. the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.

5) IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.

Under IFRS 16, if the Group is a lessee, it shall recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for low-value and short-term leases. The Group may elect to apply the accounting method similar to the accounting for operating lease under IAS 17 to the low-value and short-term leases. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group should present the depreciation expense charged on the right-of-use asset separately from interest expense accrued on the lease liability; interest is computed by using

- 17 - 

effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities; cash payments for interest portion are classified within operating activities.

The application of IFRS 16 is not expected to have a material impact on the accounting of the Group as lessor.

When IFRS 16 becomes effective, the Group may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

6) Amendments to IAS 12 “Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses”

The amendment clarifies that the difference between the carrying amount of the debt instrument measured at fair value and its tax base gives rise to a temporary difference, even though there are unrealized losses on that asset, irrespective of whether the Group expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by holding it and collecting contractual cash flows.

In addition, in determining whether to recognize a deferred tax asset, the Group should assess a deductible temporary difference in combination with all of its other deductible temporary differences, unless the tax law restricts the utilization of losses to deduction against income of a specific type, in which case, a deductible temporary difference is assessed in combination only with other deductible temporary differences of the appropriate type. The amendment also stipulates that, when determining whether to recognize a deferred tax asset, the estimate of probable future taxable profit may include some of the Group’s assets for more than their carrying amount if there is sufficient evidence that it is probable that the Group will achieve this, and that the estimate for future taxable profit should exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were approved for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and results of operations, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC.

b. Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

- 18 - 

3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

c. Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include cash and cash equivalents and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date, unless the asset is to be used for an exchange or to settle a liability, or otherwise remains restricted, at more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date and liabilities that do not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

The Group engages in the construction business which has an operating cycle of over one year. The normal operating cycle applies when considering the classification of the Group’s construction-related assets and liabilities.

d. Basis of Consolidation

1) Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Group:

Ÿ has power over the investee;

Ÿ is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

Ÿ has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Group’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

Ÿ the size of the Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

Ÿ potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties;

Ÿ rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

Ÿ any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Group has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control over the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

- 19 - 

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by the Company.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

Attribution of total comprehensive income to non-controlling interests

Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. 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 and attributed to the owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities and any non-controlling interests of the former subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost. The Group accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

(Concluded)

a) To enhance operational flexibility via structural adjustments, the board of directors of the Company’s subsidiary, USI, approved to spin-off its investment business as well as capital reduction of NT$16,012,966 thousand by reducing 1,601,297 thousand shares (a reduction ratio of 97.56%), and would transfer its investment business to USIINC, a newly established business entity. The record date of the spin-off was April 1, 2015. USI completed the registration process of capital reduction on April 17, 2015, and USIINC also completed the registration of the incorporation on the same date. Based on the consideration of the business value to be spun-off by USI, USIINC issued 1,000,000 thousand new ordinary shares to the shareholders of USI. Based on the shareholdings on the record date of the spin-off, the shareholders of USI received 609.27 shares of USIINC’s ordinary share in exchange of each 1,000 shares of USI’s ordinary share. After the spin-off, the Group has control over both USI and USIINC, and the spin-off did not have material impact on the financial position and business operation of the Group.

b) To integrate the Group’s EMS upstream and downstream business resources, the board of directors approved in September 2015 the disposal of the Company’s 39,603 thousand shares in USI to the Company’s subsidiary, UGTW, at NT$20 per share. Total consideration is NT$792,064 thousand and the transaction price is based on the net value per share of USI’s audited financial statements as of June 30, 2015. The proposed transaction has been approved by the Investment Commission of the ROC in February 2016.

e. Business Combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

- 24 - 

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized on the same basis as would be required if that interest were directly disposed of by the Group.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

Business combination involving entities under common control is not accounted for by acquisition method but accounted for at the carrying amounts of the entities. Prior period comparative information in the financial statements is restated as if a business combination involving entities under common control had already occurred in that period.

f. Foreign Currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary assets (such as equity instruments) or liabilities measured at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period at the rates prevailing at the balance sheet date except for exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate.

On the disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is re-attributed to non-controlling interests of the subsidiary and is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

- 25 - 

g. Inventories and Inventories Related to Real Estate Business

Inventories, including raw materials (materials received from customers for processing, mainly semiconductor wafers, are excluded from inventories as title and risk of loss remain with the customers), supplies, work in process, finished goods, and materials and supplies in transit are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Raw materials and supplies are recorded at moving average cost while work in process and finished goods are recorded at standard cost.

Inventories related to real estate business include land and buildings held for sale, land held for construction and construction in progress. Land held for development is recorded as land held for construction upon obtaining the title of ownership. Prior to the completion, the borrowing costs directly attributable to construction in progress are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. Construction in progress is transferred to land and buildings held for sale upon completion. Land and buildings held for sale, construction in progress and land held for construction are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and related write-downs are made by item. The amounts received in advance for real estate properties are first recorded as advance receipts and then recognized as revenue when the construction is completed and the title and significant risk of the real estate properties are transferred to customers. Cost of sales of land and buildings held for sale are recognized based on the ratio of property sold to the total property developed.

h. Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Group and other parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates and joint ventures.

Under the equity method, investments in an associate and a joint venture are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of equity of associates and joint venture.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate or a joint venture at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized.

Gains and losses resulting from upstream, downstream and sidestream transactions between the Group (including its subsidiaries) and its associates or joint ventures are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associates or joint ventures that are not related to the Group.

i. Property, Plant and Equipment

Except for land which is stated at cost, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

- 26 - 

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. If the lease term is shorter than the useful lives, assets are depreciated over the lease term. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each balance sheet date, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

j. Goodwill

Goodwill arising from an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

k. Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets with finite useful lives acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed or using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, residual value and amortization methods are reviewed at each balance sheet date, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

Other intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date which is regarded as their cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognized in profit or loss.

l. Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill (see above), to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the

- 27 - 

cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

m. Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on a settlement date basis.

a) Measurement category

The classification of financial assets held by the Group depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial assets are either held for trading or they are designated as at FVTPL.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

Ÿ Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

Ÿ The financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

Ÿ It forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.

- 28 - 

Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

ii. Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held-to-maturity investments or (c) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets are stated at fair value at each balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets is reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

iii. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, other financial assets and debt investments with no active market are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

b) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are 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 financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the investments have been affected.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as trade receivables and other receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, further, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. The Group assesses the collectability of receivables based on the Group’s past experience of collecting payments and observable changes that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the assets’ carrying amounts and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial assets’ original effective interest rates. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decreases can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed either directly or by adjusting an allowance account through profit or loss. The reversal shall not result in carrying amounts of financial assets that exceed what the amortized cost would have been at the date the impairment is reversed.

- 29 - 

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period. In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss except for uncollectible trade receivables that are written off against the allowance account.

c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

2) Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are measured either at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL. Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL are held for trading.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gain or loss arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any interest or dividend paid on the financial liability. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

- 30 - 

4) Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each balance sheet date. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument , in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as financial liabilities.

Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

5) Convertible bonds

a) Convertible bonds contain conversion option classified as an equity

The component parts of compound instruments (convertible bonds) issued by the Group are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

On initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or the instrument’s maturity date. Any embedded derivative liability is measured at fair value.

The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premium. When the conversion option remains unexercised at maturity, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premium.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component.

b) Convertible bonds contain conversion option classified as a liability

The conversion options component of the convertible bonds issued by the Group that will be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or other financial asset for a fixed number of the Group’s own equity instruments is classified as derivative financial liabilities.

On initial recognition, the derivative financial liabilities component of the convertible bonds is recognized at fair value, and the initial carrying amount of the component of non-derivative financial liabilities is determined by deducting the amount of derivative financial liabilities from the fair value of the hybrid instrument as a whole. In subsequent periods, the non-derivative financial liabilities component of the convertible bonds is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The derivative financial liabilities component is measured at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible bonds are allocated to the derivative

- 31 - 

financial liabilities component and the non-derivative financial liabilities component in proportion to their relative fair values. Transaction costs relating to the derivative financial liabilities component are recognized immediately in profit or loss. Transaction costs relating to the non-derivative financial liabilities component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component.

n. Hedge Accounting

The Group designates certain hedging instruments as cash flow hedges. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedges. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognized hedged item. If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the associated gains and losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are removed from equity and are included in the initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Group revokes the designated hedging relationship, or when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instruments that has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income from the period when the hedge was effective remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

o. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable take into account of estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

1) Sale of goods and real estate properties

Revenue from the sale of goods and real estate properties is recognized when the goods and real estate properties are delivered and titles have passed, at the time all the following conditions are satisfied:

Ÿ The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and real estate properties;

Ÿ The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods and real estate properties sold;

Ÿ The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;

Ÿ It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and

- 32 - 

Ÿ The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be reliably measured.

2) Rendering of services

Service income is recognized when services are rendered.

3) Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments and interest income from financial assets are recognized when they are probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be reliably measured. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

p. Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

The Group as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the consolidated balance sheets as a finance lease obligation.

Operating lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

q. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other than stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

r. Government grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue in the consolidated financial statements and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

- 33 - 

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

s. Retirement Benefit Costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost and past service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Group’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

t. Employee share options

Employee share options granted to employees are measured at the fair value at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s best estimate of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options and non-controlling interests. It is recognized as an expense in full at the grant date if vesting immediately.

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews its estimate of the number of employee share options expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital surplus - employee share options and non-controlling interests.

u. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1) Current tax

Income tax on unappropriated earnings (excluding earnings from foreign consolidated subsidiaries) at a rate of 10% is expensed in the year the earnings arise and adjusted to the extent that distributions are approved by the shareholders in the following year.

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

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused loss carry-forward and unused tax credits for purchases of machinery and

- 34 - 

equipment to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of deferred tax assets to be utilized. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at each balance sheet date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which assets are realized or the liabilities are settled. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.

3) Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 4, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Impairment of Goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from cash-generating units and suitable discount rates in order to calculate its present value. When the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill

In evaluating the impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill, the Group is required to make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows, useful lives, expected future revenue and expenses related to the specific asset groups with the consideration of its usage patterns and the nature

- 35 - 

of semiconductor industry. Any changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions or business strategies could result in significant impairment charges in future periods.

Valuation of Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and the net realizable value of inventory at balance sheet date is determined based on Group’s judgments and estimates.

Due to the rapid technology changes, the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventory for obsolescent and unmarketable items at balance sheet date and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. There may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories due to assumptions of future demand within a specific time period.

Income Taxes

The reliability of deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available. In cases where the actual future profits generated are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which would be recognized in profit or loss for the period in which such a reversal takes place.

Recognition and Measurement of Defined Benefit Plans

Accrued pension liabilities and the resulting pension expenses under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial assumptions comprise discount rates and expected rates of salary increase. Changes in economic circumstances and market conditions will affect these assumptions and may have a material impact on the amount of the expense and the liability.

Fair value measurements and valuation processes of Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments

As disclosed in Note 30, the Group’s management uses its judgments applying appropriate valuation techniques commonly applied by market practitioners. The assumptions applied are based on observable quoted market prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates to the extent it is available. The fair value of unquoted equity instruments is estimated based on the assumptions supported by unobservable market prices and interest rates which are disclosed in Note 30. The Group’s management believes that the valuation techniques and the assumptions applied are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments.

Cash equivalents include time deposits that are of a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisitions, and are highly liquid, readily convertible to known amounts in cash and the risk of changes in values is insignificant. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investments or other purposes.

a. Trade receivables

The Group’s average credit terms were 30 to 90 days. Allowance for doubtful debts is assessed by reference to the collectability of receivables by evaluating the account aging, historical experience and current financial condition of customers.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, except that the Group’s five largest customers accounted for 26% and 30% of accounts receivable, respectively, the concentration of credit risk is insignificant for the remaining accounts receivable.

Except for those impaired, the Group had not provided an allowance for doubtful debts on trade receivables at each balance sheet date since there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered collectible. The Group did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances nor did it have a legal right to offset against any amounts owed by the Group to counterparties.

Due to the Group’s operation plans and production demands, the Group believed that a portion of property, plant and equipment used in packaging segment, testing segment, EMS segment and other segment was not used and recognized an impairment loss of NT$258,129 thousand and NT$297,754 thousand under the line item of other gains, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The recoverable amount of a portion of the impaired property, plant and equipment is determined by its fair value less costs of disposal, of which the fair value is based on the recent quoted prices of assets with similar age and obsolescence that provided by the vendors in secondary market. The recent quoted prices of assets are a Level 3 input in terms of IFRS 13 because the secondary market is not very active. The recoverable amount of the other portion of the impaired property, plant and equipment is determined on the basis of its value in use which was zero due to the Group’s expectation to derive no cash flows from these assets.

- 46 - 

Each class of property, plant and equipment was depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives:

Buildings and improvements
Main plant buildings	10-40 years
Cleanrooms	10-20 years
Others	3-20 years
Machinery and equipment	2-10 years
Other equipment	2-20 years

The capitalized borrowing costs for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are disclosed in Note 22.

a. Allocating goodwill to cash-generating units

Goodwill had been allocated to the following cash-generating units for impairment testing purposes: packaging segment, testing segment, EMS segment and other segment. The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to cash-generating units was as follows:

	December 31
	2015		2014
Cash-generating units	NT$		NT$
Testing segment	$	7,890,525	$	7,846,460
Others		2,615,994		2,598,955
	$	10,506,519	$	10,445,415

b. Impairment assessment

At the end of each year, the Group performs impairment assessment by reviewing the recoverable amounts based on value in use calculation which incorporates cash flow projections covering a five-year period. The cash flows beyond that five-year period have been extrapolated using a steady 2% per annum growth rate. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using annual discount rates. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group did not recognize impairment loss on goodwill.

The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations are growth rates for operating revenue and

- 47 - 

discount rates. Growth rates for operating revenue are based on the revenue forecast for the Group and the market as well as our historical experience. The discount rates were 8.67%- 10.71% and 9.70%-11.50% as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively

Management believed that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable amount was based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount of the cash-generating unit to exceed its aggregate recoverable amount significantly.

Total	$	3,973,729	$	3,502,487

9) Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to the following risks:

a) Investment risk

The plan assets are invested in equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

b) Interest risk

A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.

c) Salary risk

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

- 56 - 

10) The management of ASE Korea is responsible for the administration of the fund and determination of the investment strategies according to related local regulations. ASE Korea is responsible for the shortfall between the fund and the defined benefit obligation. All of the plan assets are invested in the certificates of deposits.

11) Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined obligation are discount rates and expected rates of salary increase. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at each balance sheet date, while holding all other assumptions constant.

	December 31, 2015
	NT$
Discount Rate
0.5% higher	$	(444,132	)
0.5% lower	$	497,046
Expected rates of salary increase
0.5% higher	$	476,378
0.5% lower	$	(426,130	)

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the average duration of the defined benefit obligation excluding those for executive managers of the Group was 8 to 16 years and 9 to 18 years, respectively.

The Group is able to settle the compensation or bonuses paid to employees in cash or shares. The Group assumed that the entire amount of the compensation or bonus would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the shareholders approve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

25. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

Employee share option plans of the Company and its subsidiaries

In order to attract, retain and reward employees, ASE Inc. has five employee share option plans for full-time employees of the Group, including 100,000 thousand share options approved to be granted in April 2015. Each share option represents the right to purchase one ordinary share of ASE Inc. when exercised. Under the terms of the plans, share options are granted at an exercise price equal to or not less than the closing price of the ordinary shares listed on the TSE at the grant date. The option rights of these plans are valid for 10 years, non-transferable and exercisable at certain percentages subsequent to the second anniversary of the grant date. For any subsequent changes in the Company’s capital structure, the exercise price is accordingly adjusted.

d. USISH Option Plans

In November 2015, the shareholders of USISH approved a share option plan for the employees of USISH. Each unit represents the right to purchase one ordinary share of USISH when exercised. The options are valid for 10 years, non-transferable and exercisable at certain percentages subsequent to the second anniversary of the grant date incorporated with certain performance conditions. For any subsequent changes in USISH’s capital structure, the exercise price is accordingly adjusted.

Information about share options was as follows:

	For the Year Ended December 31, 2015
	Number of			Exercise
	Options			Price
	(In			Per Share
	Thousands)			(CNY)
Balance at January 1		-		$	-
Options granted		26,640			15.5
Options forfeited		(13	)		15.5
Balance at December 31		26,627			15.5
Options exercisable, end of year		-			-
Weighted-average fair value of options granted (CNY)		$5.95~7.14

As of December 31, 2015, the remaining contractual life of the share options was 9.9 years.

Fair value of share options

Share options granted by the Company and USISH in 2015 were measured using the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s Trinomial Tree Model (1995) and the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, respectively, and the inputs to the models were as follows:

	ASE Inc.	USISH
Share price at the grant date	NT$36.5	CNY15.2
Exercise prices	NT$36.5	CNY15.5
Expected volatility	27.02%	40.33%-45.00%
Expected lives	10 years	10 years
Expected dividend yield	4.00%	0.87%
Risk free interest rates	1.34%	3.06%-3.13%

Expected volatility was based on the historical share price volatility over the past 10 years of ASE Inc. and the comparable companies of USISH, respectively. Under the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s Trinomial Tree Model (1995), the Company assumed that employees would exercise the options after vesting date when the share price was 1.88 times the exercise price to allow for the effects of early exercise.

In December 2015 and 2014, USIE had modified the terms of its option plan granted in 2007 to extend the valid period from 12 years to 13 years and from 11 years to 12 years, respectively. The incremental fair value of NT$13,721 thousand and NT$10,378 thousand were all recognized as employee benefits expense in 2015 and 2014, respectively, since the options were all vested.

Employee benefits expense recognized on employee share options was NT$133,496 thousand and NT$110,157 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

26. EQUITY TRANSACTION WITH NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

In November 2014, USISH completed its cash capital increase of CNY2,017,690 thousand and the Group’s shareholdings of USISH decreased from 88.6% to 82.1% since the Group did not subscribe for additional new shares. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction since the Group did not cease to have control over USISH and, as a result, in the fourth quarter of 2014, capital surplus was increased by NT$6,877,099 thousand (after adjusted).

In April 2015, USIE sold its shareholdings of 54,000 thousand ordinary shares of USISH amounting to CNY1,992,060 thousand and, as a result, the Group’s shareholdings of USISH decreased from 82.1% to 77.2%. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction since the Group did not cease to have control over USISH. and, as a result, capital surplus was increased by NT$7,197,510 thousand in the second quarter of 2015.

Furthermore, the shareholders of USIE approved in December 2015 to repurchase 4,500,820 shares of USIE’s outstanding ordinary shares at US$18.82 per share.

2) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements of financial assets

The financial assets measured at Level 3 fair value were equity investments with no quoted prices classified as available-for-sale financial assets - non-current. Reconciliations for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

- 78 - 

	For the Years Ended December 31
	2015			2014
	NT$			NT$
Balance at January 1	$	778,866		$	797,162
Purchases		2,010			38,793

In other comprehensive income		21,195			(25,687	)
Balance at December 31	$	741,089		$	778,866

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, unrealized loss of NT$8,611 thousand and NT$21,519 thousand, recorded in other comprehensive income under the heading of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets, were included in the carrying amount of the financial assets at fair value on Level 3 fair value measurement.

3) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

a) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 2 fair value measurement

Financial Instruments	Valuation Techniques and Inputs
Derivatives - swap contracts, forward exchange contracts, foreign currency option contracts and interest rate swap contracts	Discounted cash flows - Future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates or interest rates at balance sheet dates and contract forward exchange rates and interest rates or interest rates, discounted at rates that reflected the credit risk of various counterparties.
Derivatives - conversion option, redemption option and put option of convertible bonds	Option pricing model - Incorporation of present value techniques and reflect both the time value and the intrinsic value of options
Structured time deposits and private-placement convertible bonds	Discounted cash flows - Future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates or stock prices at balance sheet dates and contract interest rate ranges or conversion prices, discounted at rates that reflected the credit risk of various counterparties.

b) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 3 fair value measurement

The fair value of the Group’s investments in unquoted shares on Level 3 fair value measurement were measured using market approach based on investees’ recent financing activities, technical development, valuation of investees comparable companies, market conditions and other economic indicators.

The fair values of investments in limited partnership are measured using discounted cash flow technique and a comparable multiple technique. The significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow technique were discount rates of 12.34% and the terminal growth rates of 2.50%. Any significant increase in discount rates or any significant decrease in terminal growth rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of the investments in limited partnership. The significant unobservable input used in the comparable multiple technique was EBITDA multiples of 9.73. Any significant decrease in multiples would result in a

- 79 - 

decrease in the fair value of the investments in limited partnership.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The derivative instruments used by the Group are to mitigate risks arising from ordinary business operations. All derivative transactions entered into by the Group are designated as either hedging or trading. Derivative transactions entered into for hedging purposes must hedge risk against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates arising from operating activities. The currencies and the amount of derivative instruments held by the Group must match its hedged assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The Group’s risk management department monitors risks to mitigate risk exposures, reports unsettled position, transaction balances and related gains or losses to the Group’s chief financial officer on monthly basis.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Gains or losses arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of a variety of derivative financial instruments were approximately offset by those of hedged items. Interest rate risk was not significant due to the cost of capital was expected to be fixed.

There had been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

- 80 - 

a) Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The Group had sales and purchases as well as financing activities denominated in foreign currency which exposed the Group to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Group entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk to minimize the fluctuations of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities (including those eliminated upon consolidation) as well as derivative instruments which exposed the Group to foreign currency exchange rate risk at each balance sheet date are presented in Note 35.

The Group was principally subject to the impact to exchange rate fluctuation in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen against NT$ or Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“CNY”). 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency exchange rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included financial assets and liabilities and inter-company receivables and payables within the Group. The changes in profit before income tax due to a 1% change in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen both against NT$ and CNY would be NT$18,000 thousand and NT$41,000 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Hedging contracts and hedged items have been taken into account while measuring the changes in profit before income tax. The abovementioned sensitivity analysis mainly focused on the foreign currency monetary items at the end of the year. As the year-end exposure did not reflect the exposure for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the abovementioned sensitivity analysis was unrepresentative of those years.

b) Interest rate risk

Except a portion of long-term borrowings and bonds payable at fixed interest rates, the Group was exposed to interest rate risk because group entities borrowed funds at floating interest rates. Changes in market interest rates will lead to variances in effective interest rates of borrowings from which the future cash flow fluctuations arise.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at each balance sheet date were as follows:

	December 31
	2015		2014
	NT$		NT$
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial liabilities	$	18,030,482	$	34,003,038
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets		53,475,994		51,603,455
Financial liabilities		65,213,083		65,149,698

For assets and liabilities with floating interest rates, a 100 basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel. If interest rates had been 100 basis points (1%) higher or lower and all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have decreased or increased approximately by NT$117,000 thousand and NT$135,000 thousand, respectively.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity or debt price risk through its investments in financial assets at

- 81 - 

FVTPL, including private-placement convertible bonds, quoted shares, and open-end mutual funds, and available-for-sale financial assets. If equity or debt prices were 1% higher or lower, profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have increased or decreased approximately by NT$7,100 thousand and NT$6,800 thousand, respectively, and other comprehensive income before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have increased or decreased approximately by NT$10,000 thousand and NT$25,000 thousand, respectively.

In addition, the Group was also exposed to the Company’s ordinary share price risk through Bonds Options recognized as financial liabilities held for trading. 7% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting price risk internally to key management personnel. If the Company’s ordinary share price increased or decreased by 7%, profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have decreased approximately by NT$605,000 thousand and NT$651,000 thousand, respectively, or increased approximately by NT$638,000 thousand and NT$608,000 thousand, respectively.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, receivables and other financial assets. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk was the carrying amounts of financial assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Group dealt with counterparties creditworthy and has a credit policy and trade receivable management procedures to ensure recovery and evaluation of trade receivables. The Group’s counterparties consisted of a large number of customers and banks and there was no significant concentration of credit risk exposure.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate working capital and banking facilities to fulfill the demand for cash flow used in the Group’s operation and capital expenditure. The Group also monitors its compliance with all the loan covenants. Liquidity risk is not considered to be significant.

In the table below, financial liabilities with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of counter-parties choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amounts were derived from the interest rates at each balance sheet date.

36. OTHERS

a. In November 2015, the Company received a legal brief made by SPIL in connection with a lawsuit brought by SPIL against the Company which was filed with Kaohsiung District Court.

The Company has engaged attorney to defend this case and will submit defense brief to the court to protect the Company's interest. The Kaohsiung District Court has not scheduled a hearing on this case. The Company does not expect the lawsuit to have material impact on the financial position and business operation of the Company.

b. On December 20, 2013, the Kaohsiung Environmental Protection Bureau (“KEPB”) issued an official letter No. Kao-Shih-Huan-Chu-Tu-Tzu 10243758100 and an administrative sanction letter No. Kao-Shih-Huan-Chu-Shui-Chu-Tzu 30-102-120022 (“the Administrative Decision”).

On January 17, 2014, the Company retained lawyers to file an administrative appeal to nullify the Administrative Decision with the Kaohsiung City Government, but the administrative appeal was dismissed. The Company next retained lawyers to file an administrative complaint to revoke the part of the Administrative Decision pertaining to the fine, and the case is being heard by the Kaohsiung High Administrative Court.

Except for the following, the initial application of the above New IFRSs in 2017 would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:

Amendment to IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets: Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets”

The amendment to IAS 36 clarifies that the recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is disclosed only when an impairment loss on the asset has been recognized or reversed during the period. If the recoverable amount of an item of property, plant and equipment for which impairment loss has been recognized or reversed is fair value less costs of disposal, the Group is required to disclose the fair value hierarchy. If the fair value measurements are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3, the valuation technique and key assumptions used to measure the fair value are disclosed. The discount rate used is disclosed if such fair value less costs of disposal is measured by using present value technique. The amendment will be applied retrospectively. The Group expect that recoverable amount disclosure for non-financial assets is required under the amendment.

b. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed by the FSC

The Group has not applied the following IFRSs issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC. As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, except that the Group should apply IFRS 15 starting January 1, 2018, the FSC has not announced the effective dates of other New IFRSs.

Note: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below:

For the Group’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows:

a) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;

b) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

Except for above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. However, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

- 12 -

The impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

Hedge accounting

The main changes in hedge accounting amended the application requirements for hedge accounting to better reflect the entity’s risk management activities. Compared with IAS 39, the main changes include: (1) enhancing types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the risk eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way hedging derivative instruments are accounted for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness assessment with the principle of economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.

2) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendments stipulated that, when the Group sells or contributes assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Group loses control over a subsidiary that contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full.

Conversely, when the Group sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture, i.e. the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Group loses control over a subsidiary that does not contain a business but retains significant influence or joint control in an associate or a joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture, i.e. the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.

3) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and related amendment

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersede IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations from January 1, 2018.

- 13 -

When applying IFRS 15, an entity shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps:

— Identify the contract with the customer;

— Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

— Determine the transaction price;

— Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and

— Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

In identifying performance obligations, IFRS 15 and related amendment require that a good or service is distinct if it is capable of being distinct (for example, the Group regularly sells it separately) and the promise to transfer it is distinct within the context of the contract (i.e. the nature of the promise in the contract is to transfer each of those goods or services individually rather than to transfer combined items).

When IFRS 15 and related amendment are effective, the Group may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

4) IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.

Under IFRS 16, if the Group is a lessee, it shall recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for low-value and short-term leases. The Group may elect to apply the accounting method similar to the accounting for operating lease under IAS 17 to the low-value and short-term leases. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group should present the depreciation expense charged on the right-of-use asset separately from interest expense accrued on the lease liability; interest is computed by using effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities; cash payments for interest portion are classified within operating activities.

The application of IFRS 16 is not expected to have a material impact on the accounting of the Group as lessor.

When IFRS 16 becomes effective, the Group may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

5) Amendments to IAS 12 “Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses”

The amendment clarifies that the difference between the carrying amount of the debt instrument measured at fair value and its tax base gives rise to a temporary difference, even though there are unrealized losses on that asset, irrespective of whether the Group expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by holding it and collecting contractual cash flows.

In addition, in determining whether to recognize a deferred tax asset, the Group should assess a deductible temporary difference in combination with all of its other deductible temporary differences, unless the tax law restricts the utilization of losses to deduction against income of a specific type, in which case, a deductible temporary difference is assessed in combination only with other deductible temporary differences of the appropriate type. The amendment also stipulates

- 14 -

that, when determining whether to recognize a deferred tax asset, the estimate of probable future taxable profit may include some of the Group’s assets for more than their carrying amount if there is sufficient evidence that it is probable that the Group will achieve this, and that the estimate for future taxable profit should exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and results of operations, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

c. Other significant accounting policies

Except for the following, the accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

1) Retirement benefits

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, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.

2) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period’s pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Except those discussed below, the same critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty of consolidated financial statements have been followed in these consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

For the associate accounted for using the equity method, the Group recognized goodwill which is included within the carrying amount of the investment as of each investment date as the excess of cost of investments over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the respective investment dates; as a result, it involves critical accounting judgment and estimates when determining aforementioned fair values. The management engaged external appraiser to identify and evaluate the associate’s identifiable tangible assets, intangible assets and liabilities.

- 17 -

The scope of such evaluation includes assumptions as current replacement cost of tangible assets, the categories of intangible assets and their expected economic benefits, growth rates and discount rates used in cash flow analysis. The amounts of differences between fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets and the carrying amount at each respective investment dates are depreciated or amortized over their remaining useful lives or expected future economic benefit lives. The management considered that the related evaluation and assumption has appropriately reflected the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

6. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

	$	37,661,420	$	55,251,181	$	42,409,714

Cash equivalents include time deposits that are of a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisitions, and are highly liquid, readily convertible to known amounts in cash and the risk of changes in values is insignificant. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investments or other purposes.

a. Trade receivables

The Group’s average credit terms were 30 to 90 days. Allowance for doubtful debts is assessed by reference to the collectability of receivables by evaluating the account aging, historical experience and current financial condition of customers.

As of September 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, except that the Group’s five largest customers accounted for 33%, 26% and 28% of accounts receivable, respectively, the concentration of credit risk is insignificant for the remaining accounts receivable.

Due to the Group’s future operation plans and capacity evaluation or production demands in segment of packaging and testing, the Group believed that a portion of property, plant and equipment was not used and recognized an impairment loss of NT$ 372,299 thousand, NT$134,890 thousand, NT$886,846 thousand and NT$151,091 thousand under the line item of other gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

To meet the capital needs for business development now and in the future and satisfy the shareholders’ demand for cash inflows, the Company shall use residual dividend policy to distribute dividends, of which the cash dividend is not lower than 30% of the total dividend distribution, with the remainder to be distributed in stock. A distribution plan is also to be made by the board of directors and passed for resolution in the shareholders’ meeting.

Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s capital surplus. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s capital surplus, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Under Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, the Company should appropriate or reverse to a special reserve.

Expect 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 Company.

The appropriations of earnings for 2015 and 2014 resolved at the Company’s annual shareholders’ meetings in June 2016 and June 2015, respectively, were as follows:

The Group is able to settle the employees’ compensation by cash or shares. The Group presumed that the entire amount of the compensation would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the board of directors approve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the remaining contractual life of the share options was 9.2 years and 9.9 years, respectively.

Fair value of share options

Share options granted by the Company and USISH in 2015 were measured using the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s Trinomial Tree Model (1995) and the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, respectively, and the inputs to the models were as follows:

	ASE Inc.	USISH
Share price at the grant date	NT$36.5	CNY15.2
Exercise prices	NT$36.5	CNY15.5
Expected volatility	27.02%	40.33%-45.00%
Expected lives	10 years	10 years
Expected dividend yield	4.00%	0.87%
Risk free interest rates	1.34%	3.06%-3.13%

Expected volatility was based on the historical share price volatility over the past 10 years of ASE Inc. and the comparable companies of USISH, respectively. Under the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s Trinomial Tree Model (1995), the Company assumed that employees would exercise the options after vesting date when the share price was 1.88 times the exercise price to allow for the effects of early exercise.

NT$41,739 thousand out of the total consideration was paid to key management personnel and related parties. As of September 30, 2016, the Group has not completed the identification of the difference between the cost of the investment and the Group’s share of the net fair value of TLJ’s identifiable assets and liabilities and, as a result, the difference was recognized as goodwill provisionally.

28. EQUITY TRANSACTION WITH NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

In April 2015, USIE sold its shareholdings of 54,000 thousand ordinary shares of USISH amounting to CNY1,992,060 thousand and, as a result, the Group’s shareholdings of USISH decreased from 82.1% to 77.2%. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction since the Group did not cease to have control over USISH and, as a result, capital surplus was increased by NT$7,197,510 thousand in the second quarter of 2015.

(Concluded)

For the financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis held for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

2) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements of financial assets

The financial assets measured at Level 3 fair value were equity investments with no quoted prices and classified as available-for-sale financial assets - non-current. Reconciliations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

	2016			2015
	NT$			NT$
Balance at January 1	$	741,089		$	778,866
Purchases		297,678			13,791
Total losses recognized
In profit or loss		(10,734	)		(15,891	)
In other comprehensive income		(29,525	)		13,522
Disposals		(28,927	)		(42,902	)
Balance at September 30	$	969,581		$	747,386

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, unrealized loss of NT$26,765 thousand and NT$16,633 thousand, recorded in other comprehensive income under the heading of unrealized gain on available-for-sale financial assets, were included in the carrying amount of the financial assets at fair value on Level 3 fair value measurement.

3) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

a) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 2 fair value measurement

Financial Instruments	Valuation Techniques and Inputs
Derivatives - swap contracts, forward exchange contracts, foreign currency option contracts and interest rate swap contracts	Discounted cash flows - Future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates or interest rates at balance sheet dates and contract forward exchange rates or interest rates, discounted at rates that reflected the credit risk of various counterparties.
Derivatives - conversion option, redemption option and put option of convertible bonds	Option pricing model - Incorporation of present value techniques and reflect both the time value and the intrinsic value of options
Structured time deposits and private-placement convertible bonds	Discounted cash flows - Future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates or stock prices at balance sheet dates and contract interest rate ranges or conversion prices, discounted at rates that reflected the credit risk of various counterparties.

b) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 3 fair value measurement

The fair value of the Group’s investments in unquoted shares on Level 3 fair value measurement were measured using market approach based on investees’ recent financing activities, technical development, valuation of investees comparable companies, market conditions and other economic indicators.

The fair values of investments in limited partnership are measured using discounted cash flow technique and a comparable multiple technique. The significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow technique were discount rates of 12.34% and the terminal growth rates of 2.50%. Any significant increase in discount rates or any significant decrease in terminal growth rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of the investments in limited partnership. The significant unobservable input used in the comparable multiple technique was EBITDA multiples of 9.73. Any significant decrease in multiples would result in a decrease in the fair value of the investments in limited partnership.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The derivative instruments used by the Group are to mitigate risks arising from ordinary business operations. All derivative transactions entered into by the Group are designated as either hedging or trading. Derivative transactions entered into for hedging purposes must hedge risk against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates arising from operating activities. The currencies and the amount of derivative instruments held by the Group must match its hedged assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The Group's risk management department monitors risks to mitigate risk exposures, reports unsettled position, transaction balances and related gains or losses to the Group’s chief financial officer on monthly basis.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Gains or losses arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of a variety of derivative financial instruments were approximately offset by those of hedged items. Interest rate risk was not significant due to the cost of capital was expected to be fixed.

There had been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

a) Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The Group had sales and purchases as well as financing activities denominated in foreign currency which exposed the Group to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Group entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk to minimize the fluctuations of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities (including those eliminated upon consolidation) as well as derivative instruments which exposed the Group to foreign currency exchange rate risk at each balance sheet date are presented in Note 36.

- 58 -

The Group was principally subject to the impact to exchange rate fluctuation in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen against NT$ or Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“CNY”). 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency exchange rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included financial assets and liabilities and inter-company receivables and payables within the Group. The changes in profit before income tax due to a 1% change in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen both against NT$ and CNY would be NT$218,000 thousand and NT$56,000 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Hedging contracts and hedged items have been taken into account while measuring the changes in profit before income tax. The abovementioned sensitivity analysis mainly focused on the foreign currency monetary items at the end of the reporting period. As the period-end exposure did not reflect the exposure for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the abovementioned sensitivity analysis was unrepresentative of those periods.

b) Interest rate risk

Except a portion of long-term borrowings and bonds payable at fixed interest rates, the Group was exposed to interest rate risk because group entities borrowed funds at floating interest rates. Changes in market interest rates will lead to variances in effective interest rates of borrowings from which the future cash flow fluctuations arise. The Group entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk to minimize the fluctuations of assets and liabilities denominated in interest rate.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at each balance sheet date were as follows:

	September 30,   2016		December 31, 2015		September 30,   2015
	NT$		NT$		NT$
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial liabilities	$	29,731,458	$	18,030,482	$	29,772,311
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets		30,340,234		53,475,994		39,098,465
Financial liabilities		72,903,042		65,213,083		60,468,199

For assets and liabilities with floating interest rates, a 100 basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel. If interest rates had been 100 basis points (1%) higher or lower and all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit before income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 would have decreased or increased approximately by NT$320,000 thousand and NT$161,000 thousand , respectively. Hedging contracts and hedged items have been taken into account while measuring the changes in profit before income tax. The abovementioned sensitivity analysis mainly focused on the interest rate items at the end of the reporting period. As the period-end exposure did not reflect the exposure for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the abovementioned sensitivity analysis was unrepresentative of those periods.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity or debt price risk through its investments in financial assets at FVTPL, including private-placement convertible bonds, quoted shares, open-end mutual funds, and available-for-sale financial assets. If equity or debt prices were 1% higher or lower, profit before income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 would have increased or decreased approximately by NT$7,200 thousand and NT$7,000 thousand,

- 59 -

respectively, and other comprehensive income before income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 would have increased or decreased approximately by NT$12,000 thousand and NT$9,000 thousand, respectively.

In addition, the Group was also exposed to the Company’s ordinary share price risk through Bonds Options recognized as financial liabilities held for trading. 7% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting price risk internally to key management personnel. If the Company’s ordinary share price increased or decreased by 7%, profit before income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 would have decreased approximately by NT$644,000 thousand and NT$586,000 thousand, respectively, or increased approximately by NT$528,000 thousand and NT$488,000 thousand, respectively.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, receivables and other financial assets. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk was the carrying amounts of financial assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Group dealt with counterparties creditworthy and has a credit policy and trade receivable management procedures to ensure recovery and evaluation of trade receivables. Except for those discussed in Note 9, the Group’s counterparties consisted of a large number of customers and banks and there was no significant concentration of credit risk exposure.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate working capital and banking facilities to fulfill the demand for cash flow used in the Group’s operation and capital expenditure. The Group also monitors its compliance with all the loan covenants. Liquidity risk is not considered to be significant.

In the table below, financial liabilities with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of counter-parties choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amounts were derived from the interest rates at each balance sheet date.

(Concluded)

The amounts included above for floating interest rate instruments for non-derivative financial liabilities was subject to change if changes in floating interest rates differ from those estimates of interest rates determined at each balance sheet date.

The following table detailed the Group's liquidity analysis for its derivative financial instruments. The table was based on the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted gross cash inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amounts payable or receivable are not fixed, the amounts disclosed have been determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by the yield curves at each balance sheet date.

37. OTHERS

a. In November 2015, the Company received a legal brief filed by SPIL in connection with a lawsuit brought by SPIL against the Company which was filed with Kaohsiung District Court. On June 27, 2016, as SPIL failed to pay the court expenses upon the deadline, the Kaohsiung District Court dismissed the lawsuit pursuant to the relevant law. As a result, the lawsuit does not have material impact on the financial position and the result of operations of the Group.

b. On December 20, 2013, the Kaohsiung Environmental Protection Bureau (“KEPB”) imposed a fine of NT$102,014 thousand (“the Administrative Fine”) upon the Company for the violation of the Water Pollution Control Act . The Company filed an administrative appeal to nullify the Administrative Fine, which, however, was dismissed by the Kaohsiung City Government. The Company then filed a lawsuit with the Kaohsiung High Administrative Court seeking to revoke the dismissal decision made by the Kaohsiung City Government (the “Administrative Appeal Decision”) and the Administrative Fine, and to demand a refund of the fine paid by the Company. The judgment of the Kaohsiung High Administrative Court was rendered on March 22, 2016, ruling to revoke the Administrative Appeal Decision and the Administrative Fine, and to dismiss the other complaint filed by the Company (i.e., to demand a refund of the fine paid by the Company). The Company appealed against the unfavorable ruling on April 14, 2016 and the case is now being heard by the Supreme Administrative Court. Meanwhile, owing to the event above, in January 2014, the Kaohsiung District Prosecutors Office charged the Company with violation of the Waste Disposal Act. The Kaohsiung District Court handed down the judgment and the Company was fined NT$3,000 thousand. Then the Company appealed against the judgment to the Kaohsiung Branch of Taiwan High Court, and the Kaohsiung Branch of Taiwan High Court rendered on September 29, 2015 a final judgment of finding the Company not guilty of the criminal charge.

c. For the future development and sustainable development of semiconductor industry , the Company’s board of directors approved in June 2016 to enter into and execute a joint share exchange agreement with SPIL to establish ASE Industrial Holding Co., Ltd. (”HoldCo”) and HoldCo will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of both ASE and SPIL in the way of share exchange. The share exchange will be conducted at an exchange ratio of 1 ordinary share of the Company for 0.5 ordinary share of HoldCo, and at NT$55 in cash per SPIL's ordinary share, which has been adjusted to NT$51.2 after SPIL’s appropriation of earnings in 2016 (Note 13).

As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the share exchange transaction which is based on the share exchange agreement is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions precedent (including but not limited to the unconditional approvals at the Company and SPIL's shareholders meeting, the approval or consent to consummate the transaction from all relevant competent authorities). Unless the Company and SPIL entering into an another agreement, this share exchange agreement shall be terminated automatically if the aforementioned conditions precedent are not satisfied or to be waived on or before December 31, 2017.

Due to the aforementioned share exchange agreement, treasury shares of the Company and the convertible bonds embedded with conversion option recognized as equity issued by the Company were affected as follows:

1) For the outstanding balance of the Bonds, except where the Bonds have been redeemed or repurchased and cancelled or converted by the holders by exercising their conversion rights before the share exchange record date, the holders of the Bonds may, after the Company obtains approval from all relevant competent authorities and after the share exchange record date, convert such outstanding balance into newly issued HoldCo common shares. The conversion shall be subject to applicable laws, the indenture of the Bonds and the share exchange ratio.

2) Treasury shares purchased before the share exchange record date for the conversion of the Currency Linked Bonds will be exchanged to HoldCo's ordinary shares, which will still be hold by the

- 66 -

Company, based on the agreed share exchange ratio. The conversion price of the Currency Linked Bonds shall also be adjusted in accordance with the agreed share exchange ratio in the joint share exchange agreement.

3) For the employee share options issued by the Company upon the approval from relevant competent authorities before the execution of the joint share exchange agreement, HoldCo will assume the Company’s obligations under the employee share options as of the share exchange record date. Except that the exercise price and amount shall be adjusted in accordance with the agreed share exchange ratio and that the shares subject to exercise shall be converted into HoldCo’s newly issued ordinary shares, all other terms and conditions for issuance will remain the same. The final execution arrangements shall be made by HoldCo in compliance with relevant laws and regulations and subject to the approval of relevant competent authorities.

(Concluded)

Note : Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after the respective effective dates.

Except for the following, whenever applied, the initial application of the above 2013 IFRSs version and the related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers would not have any material impact on the Company’s accounting policies:

1) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards, for example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

The fair value measurements under IFRS 13 will be applied prospectively from January 1, 2015.

-9-

2) Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”

The amendments to IAS 1 requires items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those items that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Under current IAS 1, there were no such requirements.

The Company retrospectively will apply the above amendments starting in 2015. Items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss are remeasurements of the defined benefit plans and share of remeasurements of the defined benefit plans of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method. Items that may be reclassified to profit or loss are unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets, cash flow hedges and share of other comprehensive income (except the share of the remeasurements of the defined benefit plans) of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method. However, the application of the above amendments will not have any impact on the net profit, other comprehensive income (net of income tax) and total comprehensive income for the period.

3) Revision to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

Revised IAS 19 requires the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminates the “corridor approach” permitted under current IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. The revision requires all remeasurements of the defined benefit plans to be recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. Remeasurement of the defined benefit plans is presented separately as other equity. The Company has not determined the presentation of the changes in defined benefit obligations.

Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in current IAS 19 are replaced with a “net interest” amount, which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. In addition, the revised IAS 19 introduces certain changes in the presentation of the defined benefit cost, and also includes more extensive disclosures.

On initial application of the revised IAS 19 in 2015, the changes in cumulative employee benefit costs as of January 1, 2013 resulting from the retrospective application are adjusted to accrued pension cost, deferred tax assets and retained earnings; however, the carrying amount of inventory is not adjusted. In addition, in preparing the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company would elect not to present 2014 comparative information about the sensitivity analysis of the defined benefit obligation. The anticipated impact of the initial application is set out below:

	Carrying Amount		Adjustments Arising from Retrospective Application			Adjusted
	NT$		NT$			NT$
Impact on Assets, Liabilities and Equity
December 31, 2014
Deferred tax assets	$	1,020,403	$	(601	)	$	1,019,802

(Concluded)

4) Amendment to IFRS 7 “Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”

The amendments to IFRS 7 require disclosure of information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under enforceable master netting arrangements and similar arrangements.

5) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2009-2011 Cycle

Several standards including IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”, IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”,

-11-

IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” were amended in this annual improvement.

The amendments to IAS 1 clarify that an entity is required to present a balance sheet as at the beginning of the preceding period when a) it applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, and b) the retrospective application, restatement or reclassification has a material effect on the information in the balance sheet at the beginning of the preceding period. The amendments also clarify that related notes are not required to accompany the balance sheet at the beginning of the preceding period.

The amendments to IAS 16 clarify that spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment should be recognized in accordance with IAS16 when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment and otherwise as inventory.

The amendments to IAS 32 clarify that income tax relating to distributions to holders of an equity instrument and to transaction costs of an equity transaction should be accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 “Income Taxes”.

The initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 IFRSs version in 2015 is expected to have material effect on the parent company only balance sheet as of January 1, 2014. In preparing the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company would present the parent company only balance sheet as of January 1, 2014 in accordance of the above amendments to IAS 1 and disclose related information in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, but not required to make disclosures about the line items of the balance sheet as of January 1, 2014.

6) Recognition and measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss

In accordance with the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, for financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income and the remaining amount of change in the fair value of that liability is presented in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability's credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. If the above accounting treatment would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch, all gains or losses on that liability are presented in profit or loss.

b. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed by the FSC

Note 3: Prospectively applicable to transactions occurring in annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

The initial application of the above New IFRSs, whenever applied, would not have any material impact on the Company’s accounting policies, except for the following:

1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below:

For the Company’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows:

a) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;

-13-

b) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

Except for above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. However, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

The impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

Hedge accounting

The main changes in hedge accounting amended the application requirements for hedge accounting to better reflect the entity’s risk management activities. Compared with IAS 39, the main changes include: (1) enhancing types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the risk eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way hedging derivative instruments are accounted for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness assessment with the principle of economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.

2) Amendment to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets”

In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made consequential amendment to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that such disclosure of recoverable amounts is required only when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, the Company is required to disclose the discount rate used in measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.

-14-

3) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations from January 1, 2017.

When applying IFRS 15, an entity shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps:

— Identify the contract with the customer;

— Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

— Determine the transaction price;

— Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and

— Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

When IFRS 15 is effective, the Company may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

4) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendments stipulated that, when the Company sells or contributes assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Company loses control of a subsidiary that contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full.

Conversely, when the Company sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture, i.e. the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Company loses control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business but retains significant influence or joint control in an associate or a joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture, i.e. the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.

5) Amendment to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative

The amendment clarifies that the parent company only financial statements should be prepared for the purpose of disclosing material information. To improve the understandability of its consolidated financial statements, the Company should disaggregate the disclosure of material items into their different natures or functions, and disaggregate material information from immaterial information.

The amendment further clarifies that the Company should consider the understandability and comparability of its parent company only financial statements to determine a systematic order in presenting its footnotes.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the parent company only financial statements were approved for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

-15-

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Statement of Compliance

The accompanying parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

b. Basis of Preparation

The accompanying parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for the assets.

When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company used equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries and associates. In order for the amount of the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same with the amounts attributable to owners of the Company in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatment between parent company only basis and consolidated basis were made to investments accounted for using the equity method, share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates and share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates in the parent company only financial statements.

c. Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include cash and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date, unless the asset is to be used for an exchange or to settle a liability, or otherwise remains restricted, at more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date and liabilities that do not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

d. Foreign Currencies

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary assets (such as equity instruments) or liabilities measured at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period at the rates prevailing at the balance sheet date except for exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

For the purposes of presenting the parent company only financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations (including subsidiaries and associates operating in other countries or using currencies that are different from the Company’s) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the

-16-

average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.

e. Inventories

Inventories, including raw materials (materials received from customers for processing, mainly semiconductor wafers, are excluded from inventories as title and risk of loss remain with the customers), supplies, work in process, finished goods, and materials and supplies in transit are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Raw materials and supplies are recorded at moving average cost while work in process and finished goods are recorded at standard cost.

f. Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method

The Company used equity method to account for its investment in subsidiaries and associates.

1) Investment in subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the company.

Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary as well as the distribution received. The Company also recognized its share of the changes in other equity of the subsidiaries.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company’s losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of subsidiaries at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized.

Unrealized profits and losses from downstream, upstream and sidestream transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated in full.

2) Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture.

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates. Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of equity of associates.

When the Company subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously

-17-

recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate shall be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

The unrealized profits and losses from downstream, upstream and sidestream transactions with associates are eliminated in full.

g. Property, Plant and Equipment

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

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each balance sheet date, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Freehold land is not depreciated.

Property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or no expected future economic benefits. Any gain or loss arising on the derecognization of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

h. Goodwill

Goodwill arising from an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

Goodwill is not amortized and instead is tested for impairment annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

i. Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets with finite useful lives acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized based on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, residual value and amortization methods are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed to be zero. The effect of any changes in estimate is accounted for on a prospective basis.

j. Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill

At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill (see above), to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the higher of

-18-

fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

k. Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on a settlement date basis.

a) Measurement category

The classification of financial assets held by the Company depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

i Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial assets are either held for trading or they are designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

• Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

• The financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

• It forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

-19-

ii Available-for-sale financial assets

Shares, of which the fair value can be measured reliably, held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale financial assets and are measured at fair value at each balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets is reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’ s right to receive the dividends is established.

iii Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables including cash, trade receivables, other receivables and other financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

b) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are 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 financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the investments have been affected.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as trade receivables and other receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, further, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. The Group assesses the collectability of receivables based on the Group’s past experience of collecting payments and observable changes that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the assets’ carrying amounts and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial assets’ original effective interest rates. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decreases can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed either directly or by adjusting an allowance account through profit or loss. The reversal shall not result in carrying amounts of financial assets that exceed what the amortized cost would have been at the date the impairment is reversed.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period. In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets.

c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

-20-

2) Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are measured either at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL. Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL are held for trading.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gain or loss arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any interest or dividend paid on the financial liability. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 26.

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

4) Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each balance sheet date. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as financial liabilities.

Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

5) Convertible bonds

Convertible bonds issued by the Company that contain liability, conversion option, redemption option and put option (collectively the “Bonds Options”) components are classified separately into respective items on initial recognition. The conversion option that will be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or other financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments is classified as a conversion option derivative.

On initial recognition, the Bonds Options are measured at fair value while the residual of total consideration from the Bonds options is recognized as initial carrying amount for the liability. In subsequent periods, the liability component of the convertible bonds is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Bonds Options are measured at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

Transaction costs that relate to the offering of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability (recognized as the carrying amount of the liability) and the Bonds options components (recognized in profit or loss) in proportion to their relative fair values.

-21-

l. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable take into account of estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

1) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at the time all the following conditions are satisfied:

— The Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

— The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

— The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;

— It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and

— The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be reliably measured.

2) Rendering of services

Service income is recognized when services are rendered.

3) Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments and interest income from financial assets are recognized when they are probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be reliably measured. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

m. Leasing

Rental income or expense from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

n. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

o. Retirement Benefit Costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method. All actuarial gains and losses on the defined benefit obligation are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income.

-22-

p. Share-based Payment Arrangements

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's best estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options.

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews its estimate of the number of employee share options expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital surplus - employee share options.

q. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1) Current tax

Income tax on unappropriated earnings (excluding earnings from foreign consolidated subsidiaries) at a rate of 10% is expensed in the year the earnings arise and adjusted to the extent that distributions are approved by the shareholders in the following year.

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

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the parent company only financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax credits that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of deferred tax assets to be utilized. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at each balance sheet date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which assets are realized or the liabilities are settled. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.

3) Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and

-23-

deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income, respectively

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 4, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Impairment of Goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from cash-generating units and suitable discount rates in order to calculate its present value. When the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill

In evaluating the impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill, the Company is required to make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows, useful lives, expected future revenue and expenses related to the specific asset groups with the consideration of its usage patterns and the nature of semiconductor industry. Any changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions or business strategies could result in significant impairment charges in future periods.

Valuation of Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and the net realizable value of inventory at balance sheet date is determined based on Company’s judgments and estimates.

Due to the rapid technology changes, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventory for obsolescent and unmarketable items at balance sheet date and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. There may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories due to assumptions of future demand within a specific time period.

Income Taxes

The reliability of deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available. In cases where the actual future profits generated are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which would be recognized in profit or loss for the period in which such a reversal takes place.

Recognition and Measurement of Defined Benefit Plans

Accrued pension liabilities and the resulting pension expenses under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial assumptions comprise discount rates and expected rates of salary increase. Changes in economic circumstances and market conditions will affect these assumptions and may have a material impact on the amount of the expense and the liability.

-24-

Fair Value Measurements and Valuation Processes of Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments

As disclosed in Note 26, the Company’s management uses its judgments applying valuation techniques commonly applied by market practitioners. The assumptions applied are based on observable quoted market prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates to the extent it is available. The fair value of unquoted equity instruments is estimated based on the assumptions supported by unobservable market prices and interest rates which are disclosed in Note 26. The Company’s management believes that the valuation techniques and the assumptions applied are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments.

a. Trade receivables

The Company’s average credit terms were 30 to 90 days. Allowance for doubtful debts is assessed by reference to the collectability of receivables by evaluating the account aging, historical experience and current financial condition of customers.

The Company serves a variety of customers and, therefore, the concentration of credit risk is not significant.

Total	$	1,748,621	$	1,227,301

The above aging schedule was based on the past due date.

Except for those impaired, the Company had not provided an allowance for doubtful debts on trade receivables at each balance sheet date since there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered collectible. The Company did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances nor did it have a legal right to offset against any amounts owed by

Pursuant to the factoring agreement, losses from commercial disputes (such as sales returns and discounts) should be borne by the Company, while losses from credit risk should be borne by the banks. The Company also issued promissory notes to the banks for commercial disputes which remained undrawn since. The promissory notes amounted to US$5,000 thousand and US$27,000 thousand as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, there was no significant losses from commercial disputes in the past and the Company does not expect any significant commercial dispute losses in the foreseeable future.

In August 2013, Luchu completed its cash capital increase and the Company’s shareholdings of Luchu decreased from 84.3% to 67.1% since the Company did not subscribe for additional new shares. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction since the Company did not cease to have control over Luchu.

In November 2014, a subsidiary of the Company, Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“USISH”), completed its cash capital increase and the Company’s shareholdings of USISH decreased from 88.6% to 82.1% since the Company and its subsidiaries did not subscribe for additional new shares. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction since the Company did not cease to have control over USISH and, as a result, in the fourth quarter of 2014, capital surplus was increased by NT$6,871,062 thousand.

The Company’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income or loss of the subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was based on those subsidiaries’ audited financial statements for the same years.

b.       Investments in associates

1) Investments in associates accounted for using the equity method consisted of the following:

				Carrying Amount as of December 31

AMPI		18.2	%		—
HCK		27.3	%		27.3	%
SCT		—			33.3	%

3) In January 2014, the Company subscribed for 20,000 thousand private-placement ordinary shares of AMPI in NT$100,000 thousand. The Company obtained significant influence over AMPI since the percentage of ownership was increased to 27.4% after taking into account the shares previously held which were recognized as available-for-sale financial assets. The private-placement ordinary shares were restricted for disposal during a 3-year lock-up period. In addition, the Company did not join AMPI’s cash capital increase in February and April 2014 and, as the result, the percentage of ownership decreased from 27.4% to 18.2%. After the consideration of potential voting rights

-30-

that are currently convertible, the Company still has significant influence over AMPI.

4) The Company did not subscribe for SCT’s cash capital increase in May 2014 and, therefore, the percentage of ownership decreased from 33.3% to 5.6%. As the result, the Company had no significant influence over SCT and the investment in SCT was reclassified to available-for-sale financial assets.

5) Fair values of investments in associates with available published price quotation as of the balance sheet date are summarized as follows:

The accrued bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors represented 11% and 1%, respectively, of net income (net of the bonus and remuneration) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Material differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts proposed by the board of directors on or before the parent company only financial statements are authorized for issue are adjusted in the year the bonus and remuneration were recognized. If there is a change in the proposed amounts after the parent company only financial statements are authorized for issue, the differences are recorded 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 the share bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares of the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

Under Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, the Company should appropriate or reverse to a special reserve. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and thereafter distributed.

Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s capital surplus. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s capital surplus, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

The appropriations of earnings for 2013 and 2012 resolved at the Company’s annual shareholders’ meetings in June 2014 and June 2013, respectively, were as follows:

	Appropriation of Earnings					Dividends Per Share
	For Year 2013			For Year 2012		For Year 2013		For Year 2012

The appropriations of earnings for 2012 were proposed according to the Corporation’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which were prepared in accordance with the former Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and ROC GAAP.

The differences between the resolved amounts of the bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors and the accrued amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were deemed changes in estimates. The difference was NT$385 thousand and NT$38,644 thousand and had been adjusted in earnings for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

g. Integrated income tax

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, unappropriated earnings were all generated on and after January 1, 1998. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the balance of the Imputation Credit Account (“ICA”) was NT$934,038 thousand and NT$733,341 thousand, respectively.

The creditable ratio for the distribution of earnings of 2014 and 2013 was 6.19% (estimated) and 6.10% (actual), respectively.

Under the Integrated Income Tax System, ROC resident shareholders are allowed a tax credit for their proportionate share of the income tax paid in the ROC by the Company on earnings generated after January 1, 1998. Non-resident shareholders are allowed only a tax credit from the 10% income tax on undistributed earnings, which can be used to reduce the withholding income tax on dividends. Starting from 2015, the allowed tax credit is adjusted to 50% of the income tax paid in the ROC by the Company for ROC resident shareholders or 50% of the 10% income tax on undistributed earnings for non-resident shareholders. An ICA is maintained by the Company for such income tax and the tax credit allocated to each shareholder. The maximum credit available for allocation to each shareholder cannot exceed the balance shown in the ICA on the date of dividend distribution. The expected creditable ratio for the 2014 earnings may be adjusted, depending on the ICA balance on the date of dividend distribution.

h. Income tax assessments

Income tax returns of the Company have been examined by authorities through 2012. ASE Inc. disagreed with the result of examinations relating to its income tax returns for 2004 through 2008 and 2010 through 2012 and applied for appeal procedures. The related income tax expenses in the years resulting from the examinations have been accrued in respective tax years.

The Company assumed that the entire amount of the bonus would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the shareholders approve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

22. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

a. Employee share option plans

In order to attract, retain and reward employees, the Company has four employee share option plans for full-time employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Each share option represents the right to purchase one ordinary share of the Company when exercised. Under the terms of the plans, share options are granted at an exercise price equal to or not less than the closing price of the ordinary shares listed on the TSE at the grant date. The option rights of these plans are valid for 10 years, non-transferable and exercisable at certain percentages subsequent to the second anniversary of the grant date. For any subsequent changes in the Company’s capital structure, the exercise price is accordingly adjusted.

In December 2014, the board of directors approved the 5th employee share option plan.

ASE Mauritius Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has an employee share option plan with the identical terms of the Company’s. 19,265 thousand share options were granted to the Company’s employees and none was exercised for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 19,265 thousand share options were exercisable and the weighted average exercise price was US$1.7.

The terms of the share option plans granted in 2007, 2010 and 2011 by USIE were the same with those of the Company’s. In December 2014 and 2013, USIE had modified the terms of its share option plan granted in 2007 to extend the valid period from 11 years to 12 years and from 10 years to 11 years, respectively. The incremental fair value of NT$5,952 thousand and NT$8,492 thousand were all recognized as employee benefit expense in 2014 and 2013, respectively, since the options were all vested. 20,718 thousand share options of USIE were granted to the Company’s employees. There was no share options exercised or forfeited in 2014 and 2013, and 209 thousand share options were transferred to subsidiaries and 76 thousand share options were transferred into the Company from subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 in respect of the share options granted by USIE to the Company’s employees, outstanding share options were 20,135 thousand units and 20,344 thousand units, respectively; 18,446 thousand units and 16,358 thousand units were exercisable, respectively; and the weighted average exercise prices were US$2.0 and US$1.9, respectively.

b. Fair value of share options

The aforementioned share options granted were measured using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model or the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s Trinomial Tree Model (1995), and the inputs to the models were as follows:

	ASE Inc.	ASE Mauritius Inc.	USIE
Share price/market price at the grant date	NT$28.60-30.65	US$1.7	US$1.53-2.62
Exercise prices	NT$28.60-30.65	US$1.7	US$1.53-2.94
Expected volatility	28.59%-40.82%	47.21%	32.48%-42.58%
Expected lives	10 years	10 years	10-12 years
Expected dividend yield	3.00%-4.00%	-	-
Risk free interest rates	1.56%-2.51%	3.87%-3.90%	1.63%-4.02%

Expected volatility was based on the historical share price volatility over the past 10 years of ASE Inc. and the comparable companies of ASE Mauritius Inc. and USIE, respectively. Under the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s Trinomial Tree Model (1995), to allow for the effects of early exercise, the Group assumed that employees would exercise the options after vesting date when the share price was 1.58-1.69 times the exercise price.

Employee benefits expense recognized on employee share options was NT$110,157 thousand and NT$234,093 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In July 2013, the board of directors approved the cash capital increase and, as required under the Company Act of the ROC, simultaneously granted options to employees to purchase 15% of such newly issued shares with such options exercisable within 3 days and vested when granted. The grant of the options was treated as employee options, accordingly a share-based compensation, and measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 2. The Group recognized employee benefits expense and capital surplus of NT$26,708 thousand in full at the grant date (also the vested date), of which 1,960 thousand shares had not been vested, therefore, NT$3,626 thousand was reclassified from capital surplus-employee share options to capital surplus-issuance of ordinary shares.

Information about the Company’s employee share options related to the aforementioned newly issued shares was as follows:

	Number of Options (In Thousand)			Fair Value (NT$)
Balance at January 1, 2013		—		$	—
Options granted		14,437			1.85
Options exercised		(12,477	)		1.85
Options forfeited		(1,960	)		—
Balance at December 31, 2013		—			—

Fair value was measured using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the inputs to the model were as follows:

Share price at the grant date	NT$27.95 per share
Exercise price	NT$26.10 per share

(Continued)

Expected volatility	17.98%
Expected lives	3 days
Expected dividend yield	-
Risk free interest rate	0.57%

(Concluded)

Expected volatility was based on the Company’s historical share prices volatility.

26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Fair value of financial instruments

1) Fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

Except bonds payable measured at amortized cost, the management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value approximate their fair values.

The carrying amounts and the fair value of bonds payable as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were as follows:

	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	NT$		NT$
December 31, 2014	$	19,270,613	$	19,828,076
December 31, 2013		18,152,195		18,773,778

2) Fair value measurements recognized in the parent company only balance sheets

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

a) Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

-52-

b) Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

c) Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for those assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(Concluded)

For assets and liabilities held as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

3) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements of financial assets

The financial assets measured at Level 3 fair value were equity investments with no quoted prices classified as available-for-sale financial assets - non-current. Reconciliations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31
	2014			2013
	NT$			NT$
Balance at January 1	$	522,902		$	454,853
Purchases		38,793			30,000
Total gains (losses) recognized in other comprehensive income		(19,548	)		38,049
Balance at December 31	$	542,147		$	522,902

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, unrealized gain or loss recorded in other comprehensive income under the heading of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets was nil.

-53-

4) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities were determined as follows:

a) The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets were determined with reference to quoted market prices (includes quoted shares and open-end mutual funds). The fair value of private-placement shares was derived using quoted market prices and adjusted for the liquidity discount due to the selling restrictions relating to the lock-up period. The liquidity discount was the option value using the Black-Scholes Model with all observable inputs.

b) The fair values of derivative instruments were calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices were not available, a discounted cash flow analysis was performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives. These models use market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies to project fair value. The estimates and assumptions used by the Company were consistent with those that market participants would use in pricing financial instruments.

c) The fair value of the Company’s investments in unquoted shares on Level 3 fair value measurement were measured using market approach based on investees’ recent financing activities, technical development, valuation of investees comparable companies, market conditions and other economic indicators.

d) Except the aforementioned, the fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities were measured using the generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis.

c. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The derivative instruments used by the Company are to mitigate risks arising from ordinary business operations. All derivative transactions entered into by the Company are designated as either hedging or trading. Derivative transactions entered into for hedging purposes must hedge risk against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates arising from operating activities. The currencies and the amount of derivative instruments held by the Company must match its hedged assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The Company’s risk management department monitors risks to mitigate risk exposures, reports unsettled position, transaction balances and related gains or losses to the Company’s chief financial officer on monthly basis.

1) Market risk

The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Gains or losses arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of a variety of derivative financial instruments were approximately offset by those of hedged items. Interest rate risk was not significant due to the cost of capital was expected to be fixed.

There had been no change to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

a) Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The Company had sales and purchases as well as financing activities denominated in foreign currency which exposed the Company to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk to minimize the fluctuations of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities as well as derivative instruments which exposed the Company to foreign currency exchange rate risk at each balance sheet date are presented in Note 31.

The Company was principally subject to the impact to exchange rate fluctuation in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen against NT$. 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency exchange rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included financial assets and liabilities and inter-company receivables and payables within the Company and its subsidiaries. The changes in profit before income tax due to a 1% change in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen both against NT$ would be NT$3,400 thousand and NT$11,800 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Hedging contracts and hedged items have been taken into account while measuring the changes in profit before income tax. As the year-end exposure did not reflect the exposure for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the abovementioned sensitivity analysis was unrepresentative of those years.

b) Interest rate risk

Except bonds payable at fixed interest rates, the Company was exposed to interest rate risk because the Company borrowed funds at floating interest rates. Changes in market interest rates will lead to variances in effective interest rates of borrowings from which the future cash flow fluctuations arise.

-55-

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at each balance sheet date were as follows:

	December 31
	2014		2013
	NT$		NT$
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial liabilities	$	21,736,100	$	20,866,340
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets		11,432,949		15,099,100
Financial liabilities		57,040,407		55,071,138

For assets and liabilities with floating interest rates, a 100 basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel. If interest rates had been 100 basis points (1%) higher or lower and all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 would have decreased or increased approximately by NT$456,000 thousand and NT$400,000 thousand, respectively.

c) Other price risk

The Company was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in available-for-sale financial assets. If equity prices were 1% higher or lower, other comprehensive income before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 would have increased or decreased approximately by NT$9,500 thousand and NT$30,000 thousand, respectively.

In addition, the Company was also exposed to the Company’s ordinary share price risk through Bonds Options recognized as financial liabilities held for trading. 7% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting price risk internally to key management personnel. If the Company’s ordinary share price increased or decreased by 7%, profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2014 would have decreased approximately by NT$651,000 thousand, or increased approximately by NT$608,000 thousand, respectively.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company’s credit risk arises from cash, receivables and other financial assets. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk was the carrying amounts of financial assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company dealt with counterparties creditworthy and has a credit policy and trade receivable management procedures to ensure recovery and evaluation of trade receivables. The Company’s counterparties consisted of a large number of customers and banks and there was no significant concentration of credit risk exposure.

3) Liquidity risk

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate working capital and banking facilities to fulfill the demand for cash flow used in the Company’s operation and capital expenditure. In addition, some creditors to the Company’s current liabilities are the Company’s subsidiaries, and there’s no risk of obligation for prompt repayments. The Group also monitors its compliance with all the loan covenants. Liquidity risk is not considered to be significant.

-56-

In the table below, financial liabilities with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of counter-parties choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amounts were derived from the interest rates at each balance sheet date.

The amounts included above for floating interest rate instruments for non-derivative financial liabilities was subject to change if changes in floating interest rates differ from those estimates of interest rates determined at each balance sheet date.

The following table detailed the Company’s liquidity analysis for its derivative financial instruments. The table was based on the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted gross cash inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amounts payable or receivable are not fixed, the amounts disclosed have been determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by the yield curves at each balance sheet date.

30. SIGNIFICANT SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

To enhance operational flexibility via structural adjustments, the board of directors of the Company’s subsidiary, Universal Scientific Industrial Co., Ltd.

As the consideration of the business value to be spun-off by USI, USIINC will issue 1,000,000 thousand new ordinary shares to the shareholders of USI. Based on the shareholdings on the record date of the spin-off, the shareholders of USI will receive 609.27 shares of USIINC’s ordinary share in exchange of each 1,000 shares of USI’s ordinary share. The tentative record date of the spin-off is March 6, 2015. After the spin-off, the Company will have control over both USI and USIINC, and the spin-off will not have material impact on the financial position and business operation of the Company.

Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and

Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. (“SPIL”) as of December 31, 2015 and for the year then ended were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts and information disclosed, is based on the report of the other auditors. The accompanying financial statements of the Company include its investments accounted for using the equity method in SPIL of NT$35,423,058 thousand, which was 12% of the Company’s total assets, as of December 31, 2015, and its share of the profit of SPIL of NT$410,937 thousand, which was 2% of the Company’s profit before income tax for the year ended December 31, 2015.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those regulations and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has applied the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 version of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC) and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China from January 1, 2015. Therefore, the Company retrospectively applied the aforementioned regulations, standards and interpretations and adjusted the affected items in the financial statements of the preceding periods.

-1-

The statements of major accounting items listed in the parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis. Such statements have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements mentioned above. In our opinion, such statements are consistent in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

March 16, 2016

Notice to Readers

The accompanying financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the independent auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language independent auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

1) IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”

It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive, for example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

The fair value measurements under IFRS 13 will be applied prospectively from January 1, 2015. Refer to Note 26 for related disclosures.

3) Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”

The amendments to IAS 1 requires items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those items that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Under current IAS 1, there were no such requirements.

The Company retrospectively applied the above amendments starting in 2015. Items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss are remeasurements of the defined benefit plans and share of remeasurements of the defined benefit plans of associates accounted for using the equity method. Items that may be reclassified to profit or loss are unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets and share of the other comprehensive income (except the share of the remeasurements of the defined benefit plans) of associates accounted for using the equity method. However, the application of the above amendments will not have any impact on the net profit, other comprehensive income (net of income tax), and total comprehensive income for the period.

4) Revision to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

Revised IAS 19 requires the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminates the “corridor approach” permitted under current IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. The revision requires all remeasurements of the defined benefit plans to be recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. Remeasurement of the defined benefit plans is presented separately as other equity.

Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in current IAS 19 are replaced with a “net interest” amount, which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. In addition, the revised IAS 19 introduces certain changes in the presentation of the defined benefit cost, and also includes more extensive disclosures.

On initial application of the revised IAS 19, the changes in cumulative employee benefit costs as of January 1, 2014 resulting from the retrospective application are adjusted to deferred tax assets, investments accounted for using the equity method, net defined benefit liabilities, retained earnings, capital surplus and other equity; however, the carrying amount of inventory is not adjusted. In addition, in preparing the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company elects not to present 2014 comparative information about the sensitivity analysis of the defined benefit obligation.

The initial application of the revised IAS 19 has no material impact on the current period. The impact on the prior reporting periods is set out below:

5) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2009-2011 Cycle

Several standards including IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”, IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”,

-12-

IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” were amended in this annual improvement.

The amendments to IAS 1 clarify that an entity is required to present a balance sheet as at the beginning of the preceding period when a) it applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, and b) the retrospective application, restatement or reclassification has a material effect on the information in the balance sheet at the beginning of the preceding period. The amendments also clarify that related notes are not required to accompany the balance sheet at the beginning of the preceding period.

The initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 version of IFRSs in 2015 has material effect on the parent company only balance sheet as of January 1, 2014. In preparing the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company would present the parent company only balance sheet as of January 1, 2014 in accordance of the above amendments to IAS 1 and disclose related information in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, but the Company is not required to make disclosures about the line items of the balance sheet as of January 1, 2014.

b. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed by the FSC

On March 10, 2016, the FSC announced the scope of the 2016 version of IFRSs to be endorsed and will take effect from January 1, 2017. The scope includes all IFRSs that were issued by the IASB before January 1, 2016 and have effective dates on or before January 1, 2017, which means the scope excludes those that are not yet effective as of January 1, 2017 such as IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and those with undetermined effective date. In addition, the FSC announced that the Company should apply IFRS 15 starting January 1, 2018. As of the date the parent company only financial statements were approved for issue, the FSC has not announced the effective dates of other new, amended and revised standards and interpretations.

The Company has not applied the following New IFRSs issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC.

(Concluded)

Note 1:     Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

Note 2:     The amendment to IFRS 5 is applied prospectively to changes in a method of disposal that occur in annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016; the remaining amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

The initial application of the above New IFRSs, whenever applied, would not have any material impact on the Company’s accounting policies, except for the following:

1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below:

For the Company’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows:

a) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;

b) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

-14-

Except for above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. However, the Company make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

The impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

Hedge accounting

The main changes in hedge accounting amended the application requirements for hedge accounting to better reflect the entity’s risk management activities. Compared with IAS 39, the main changes include: (1) enhancing types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the risk eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way hedging derivative instruments are accounted for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness assessment with the principle of economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.

2) Amendment to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets”

In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made consequential amendment to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that such disclosure of recoverable amounts is required only when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, the Company is required to disclose the discount rate used in measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.

3) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations from January 1, 2017.

When applying IFRS 15, an entity shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps:

— Identify the contract with the customer;

-15-

— Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

— Determine the transaction price;

— Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and

— Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

When IFRS 15 is effective, the Company may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

4) Amendment to IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendments stipulated that, when the Company sells or contributes assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Company loses control of a subsidiary that contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full.

Conversely, when the Company sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture, i.e. the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Company loses control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business but retains significant influence or joint control in an associate or a joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture, i.e. the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.

5) IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.

Under IFRS 16, if the Company is a lessee, it shall recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the parent company only balance sheets except for low-value and short-term leases. The Company may elect to apply the accounting method similar to the accounting for operating lease under IAS 17 to the low-value and short-term leases. On the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, the Company should present the depreciation expense charged on the right-of-use asset separately from interest expense accrued on the lease liability; interest is computed by using effective interest method. On the parent company only statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities; cash payments for interest portion are classified within operating activities.

The application of IFRS 16 is not expected to have a material impact on the accounting of the Company as lessor.

When IFRS 16 becomes effective, the Company may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

6) Amendments to IAS 12 “Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses”

The amendment clarifies that the difference between the carrying amount of the debt instrument measured at fair value and its tax base gives rise to a temporary difference, even though there are

-16-

unrealized losses on that asset, irrespective of whether the Company expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by holding it and collecting contractual cash flows.

In addition, in determining whether to recognize a deferred tax asset, the Company should assess a deductible temporary difference in combination with all of its other deductible temporary differences, unless the tax law restricts the utilization of losses to deduction against income of a specific type, in which case, a deductible temporary difference is assessed in combination only with other deductible temporary differences of the appropriate type. The amendment also stipulates that, when determining whether to recognize a deferred tax asset, the estimate of probable future taxable profit may include some of the Company’s assets for more than their carrying amount if there is sufficient evidence that it is probable that the Company will achieve this, and that the estimate for future taxable profit should exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the parent company only financial statements were approved for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Statement of Compliance

The accompanying parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

b. Basis of Preparation

The accompanying parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company used equity method to account for its investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In order for the amount of the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same with the amounts attributable to owners of the Company in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatment between parent company only basis and consolidated basis were made to investments accounted for using the equity method, share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in the parent company only financial statements.

c. Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include cash and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to be realized within

-17-

twelve months after the balance sheet date, unless the asset is to be used for an exchange or to settle a liability, or otherwise remains restricted, at more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date and liabilities that do not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

d. Foreign Currencies

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary assets (such as equity instruments) or liabilities measured at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period at the rates prevailing at the balance sheet date except for exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

For the purposes of presenting the parent company only financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations (including subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures operating in other countries or using currencies that are different from the Company’s) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.

e. Inventories

Inventories, including raw materials (materials received from customers for processing, mainly semiconductor wafers, are excluded from inventories as title and risk of loss remain with the customers), supplies, work in process, finished goods, and materials and supplies in transit are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Raw materials and supplies are recorded at moving average cost while work in process and finished goods are recorded at standard cost.

f. Investment in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries is accounted for using the equity method. A subsidiaries is an entity that is controlled by the company.

Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary as well as the distribution received. The Company also recognized its share of the changes in other equity of the subsidiaries.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company’s losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the

-18-

carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of subsidiaries at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Profits and losses from downstream transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated in full. Profits and losses from upstream with subsidiaries and sidestream transactions between subsidiaries are recognized in the Company’s parent company only financial statements only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Company.

g. Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Company and other parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates and joint ventures.

Under the equity method, investments in an associate and a joint venture are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of equity of associates and joint venture.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate or a joint venture at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized.

Gains and losses resulting from upstream, downstream and sidestream transactions between the Company and its associates or joint ventures are recognized in the Company’s parent company only financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associates or joint ventures that are not related to the Company.

h. Property, Plant and Equipment

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

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each balance sheet date, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

-19-

i. Goodwill

Goodwill arising from an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as cash-generating units) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

j. Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets with finite useful lives acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, residual value and amortization methods are reviewed at each balance sheet date, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognized in profit or loss.

k. Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill

At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill (see above), to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

l. Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial

-20-

liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on a settlement date basis.

a) Measurement category

The classification of financial assets held by the Company depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial assets are either held for trading or they are designated as at FVTPL.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

— Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

— The financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

— It forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.

Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 26.

ii. Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held-to-maturity investments or (c) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets are stated at fair value at each balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets is reclassified to profit or loss.

-21-

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established.

iii. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables including cash, trade receivables, other receivables, other financial assets and debt investments with no active market are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

b) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are 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 financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the investments have been affected.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as trade receivables and other receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, further, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. The Company assesses the collectability of receivables based on the Company’s past experience of collecting payments and observable changes that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the assets’ carrying amounts and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial assets’ original effective interest rates. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decreases can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed either directly or by adjusting an allowance account through profit or loss. The reversal shall not result in carrying amounts of financial assets that exceed what the amortized cost would have been at the date the impairment is reversed.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period. In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss except for uncollectible trade receivables that are written off against the allowance account.

c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

-22-

2) Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are measured either at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL. Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL are held for trading.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gain or loss arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any interest or dividend paid on the financial liability. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 26.

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

4) Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each balance sheet date. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as financial liabilities.

Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

5) Convertible bonds

a) Convertible bonds contain conversion option classified as an equity

The component parts of compound instruments (convertible bonds) issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

On initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or the instrument’s maturity date. Any embedded derivative liability is measured at fair value.

-23-

The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premium. When the conversion option remains unexercised at maturity, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premium.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component.

b) Convertible bonds contain conversion option classified as a liability

The conversion options component of the convertible bonds issued by the Company that will be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or other financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments is classified as derivative financial liabilities.

On initial recognition, the derivative financial liabilities component of the convertible bonds is recognized at fair value, and the initial carrying amount of the component of non-derivative financial liabilities is determined by deducting the amount of derivative financial liabilities from the fair value of the hybrid instrument as a whole. In subsequent periods, the non-derivative financial liabilities component of the convertible bonds is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The derivative financial liabilities component is measured at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible bonds are allocated to the derivative financial liabilities component and the non-derivative financial liabilities component in proportion to their relative fair values. Transaction costs relating to the derivative financial liabilities component are recognized immediately in profit or loss. Transaction costs relating to the non-derivative financial liabilities component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component.

m. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable take into account of estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

1) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at the time all the following conditions are satisfied:

— The Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

— The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

— The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;

— It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and

— The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be reliably measured.

-24-

2) Rendering of services

Service income is recognized when services are rendered.

3) Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established, provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

n. Leasing

Operating lease income or payments are recognized as revenue or expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

o. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

p. Retirement Benefit Costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost and past service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

q. Employee share options

Employee share options granted to employees are measured at the fair value at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s best estimate of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options. It is recognized as an expense in full at the grant date if vesting immediately.

At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews its estimate of the number of employee share options expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss

-25-

such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital surplus - employee share options.

Employee share options granted by the Company to its subsidiaries’ employees are accounted for as investments by the Company to its subsidiaries. The employee share options granted are measured at fair value at the grant dates and recorded as increases in the carrying amount of the investments in subsidiaries and the capital surplus-employee share option during the vesting periods.

r. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1) Current tax

Income tax on unappropriated earnings (excluding earnings from foreign consolidated subsidiaries) at a rate of 10% is expensed in the year the earnings arise and adjusted to the extent that distributions are approved by the shareholders in the following year.

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

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the parent company only financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax credits that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of deferred tax assets to be utilized. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at each balance sheet date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which assets are realized or the liabilities are settled. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.

3) Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income, respectively.

-26-

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 4, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Impairment of Goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from cash-generating units and suitable discount rates in order to calculate its present value. When the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill

In evaluating the impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill, the Company is required to make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows, useful lives, expected future revenue and expenses related to the specific asset groups with the consideration of its usage patterns and the nature of semiconductor industry. Any changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions or business strategies could result in significant impairment charges in future periods.

Valuation of Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and the net realizable value of inventory at balance sheet date is determined based on Company’s judgments and estimates.

Due to the rapid technology changes, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventory for obsolescent and unmarketable items at balance sheet date and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. There may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories due to assumptions of future demand within a specific time period.

Income Taxes

The reliability of deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available. In cases where the actual future profits generated are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which would be recognized in profit or loss for the period in which such a reversal takes place.

Recognition and Measurement of Defined Benefit Plans

Accrued pension liabilities and the resulting pension expenses under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial assumptions comprise discount rates and expected rates of salary increase. Changes in economic circumstances and market conditions will affect these assumptions and may have a material impact on the amount of the expense and the liability.

-27-

Fair Value Measurements and Valuation Processes of Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments

As disclosed in Note 26, the Company’s management uses its judgments applying appropriate valuation techniques commonly applied by market practitioners. The assumptions applied are based on observable quoted market prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates to the extent it is available. The fair value of unquoted equity instruments is estimated based on the assumptions supported by unobservable market prices and interest rates which are disclosed in Note 26. The Company’s management believes that the valuation techniques and the assumptions applied are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments.

a. Trade receivables

The Company’s average credit terms were 30 to 90 days. Allowance for doubtful debts is assessed by reference to the collectability of receivables by evaluating the account aging, historical experience and current financial condition of customers.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, except that the Company’s five largest customers accounted for 32% and 38% of accounts receivable, respectively, the concentration of credit risk is insignificant for the remaining accounts receivable.

Except for those impaired, the Company had not provided an allowance for doubtful debts on trade receivables at each balance sheet date since there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered collectible. The Company did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances nor did it have a legal right to offset against any amounts owed by the Company to counterparties. In addition, the Company is not required to have the legal right of offset to offset trade receivables and payables from the same counterparties.

(Concluded)

In November 2014, a subsidiary of the Company, Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“USISH”), completed its cash capital increase and the Company’s shareholdings of USISH decreased from 88.6% to 82.1% since the Company and its subsidiaries did not subscribe for additional new shares. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction since the Company did not cease to have control over USISH and, as a result, in the fourth quarter of 2014, capital surplus was increased by NT$6,877,099 thousand (after adjusted).

To enhance operational flexibility via structural adjustments, the board of directors of the Company’s subsidiary, USI, approved to spin-off its investment business as well as capital reduction of NT$16,012,966 thousand by reducing 1,601,297 thousand shares (a reduction ratio of 97.56%), and would transfer its investment business to USIINC, a newly established business entity. The record date of the spin-off was April 1, 2015. USI completed the registration process of capital reduction on April 17, 2015 and USIINC also completed the registration of the incorporation on the same date. Based on the consideration of the business value to be spun-off by USI, USIINC issued 1,000,000 thousand new ordinary shares to the shareholders of USI. Based on the shareholdings on the record date of the spin-off, the shareholders of USI received 609.27 shares of USIINC’s ordinary share in exchange of each 1,000 shares of USI’s ordinary share.

(Concluded)

5) Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:

a) Investment risk

The plan assets are invested in equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

b) Interest risk

A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.

c) Salary risk

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

-43-

6) Except the pension plans for executive managers, the key assumptions used for the actuarial valuations were as follow:

	December 31
	2015		2014
Discount rates (%)		1.90		2.25
Expected rates of salary increase (%)		2.75-3.00		2.75-3.00

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined obligation are discount rates and expected rates of salary increase. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at each balance sheet date, while holding all other assumptions constant.

	December 31, 2015
		NT$
Discount Rate
0.5% higher	$	(213,385	)
0.5% lower	$	236,088
Expected rates of salary increase
0.5% higher	$	232,856
0.5% lower	$	(212,647	)

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

7) As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the average duration of the defined benefit obligation excluding those for executive managers of the Company was both 12 years; furthermore, the Company expects to make contributions of NT$206,280 thousand and NT$190,394 thousand to the defined benefit plans in the next year starting from January 1, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(Concluded)

1) Such capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus and once a year).

2) Such capital surplus arises from the effect of changes in ownership interest in a subsidiary resulted from equity transactions other than actual disposal or acquisition, or from changes in capital surplus of subsidiaries accounted for by using equity method.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

The Articles of Incorporation of ASE Inc. (the “Articles”) provides that annual net income shall be distributed in the following order:

1) Replenishment of deficits;

2) 10.0% as legal reserve;

3) Special reserve appropriated or reversed in accordance with laws or regulations set forth by the authorities concerned;

4) An amount equal to the excess of the income from investments accounted for using the equity method over cash dividends as special reserve;

5) Addition or deduction of realized gains or losses on equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income;

6) Not more than 1.0% of the remainder, from 1) to 5), as remuneration to directors;

7) Between 7.0% to 11.0% of the remainder, from 1) to 5), as bonus to employees, of which 7.0% shall be distributed in accordance with the employee bonus plan and the excess shall be distributed to specified employees at the board of directors’ discretion; and

8) Any remainder from above as dividends to shareholders.

-46-

Employees to whom referred in 7) above include employees of subsidiaries that meet certain conditions, which are to be determined by the board of directors.

The Company is currently in the mature growth stage. To meet the capital needs for business development now and in the future and satisfy the shareholders’ demand for cash inflows, the Company shall use residual dividend policy to distribute dividends, of which the cash dividend is not lower than 30% of the total dividend distribution, with the remainder to be distributed in stock. A distribution plan is also to be made by the board of directors and passed for resolution in the shareholders’ meeting.

In accordance with the amendments to the Company Act in May 2015, the recipients of dividends and bonuses are limited to shareholders and do not include employees. Accordingly, the Company expects to make amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to be approved during the 2016 annual shareholders’ meeting. For information about the accrual basis of the employee compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors and the actual appropriations, please refer to employee benefits expense under profit before income tax in Note 19(e).

Under Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, the Company should appropriate or reverse to a special reserve. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and thereafter distributed.

Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s capital surplus. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s capital surplus, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

The appropriations of earnings for 2014 and 2013 resolved at the Company’s annual shareholders’ meetings in June 2015 and June 2014, respectively, were as follows:

	Appropriation of Earnings					Dividends Per Share

The existing Articles of Incorporation of the Company stipulate to distribute bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors at the rates in 7%-11% and no higher than 1% from net income (net of the bonus and remuneration), respectively (retained earnings and dividend policy in Note 18c). For the year ended December 31, 2014, the bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors were NT$2,335,786 thousand and NT$212,344 thousand, respectively, representing 11% and 1%, respectively, of the net income (net of the bonus and remuneration).

To be in compliance with the Company Act as amended in May 2015, the amended Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as proposed by the board of directors in January 2016, stipulate to distribute employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors at the rates in 5.25%-8.25% and no higher than 0.75%, respectively, of net profit before income tax, employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the employees’ compensation and the remuneration to directors were NT$2,033,500 thousand and NT$184,500 thousand, respectively, which were accrued based on 8.25% and 0.75% of net profit before income tax, employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors, respectively. The employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors for the year ended December 31, 2015 are subject to the resolution of the Company’s board of directors and the resolution of the amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation for adoption by the shareholders in their meeting to be held in June 2016, and in addition thereto a report of such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting.

-51-

Material differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts proposed by the board of directors on or before the annual parent company only financial statements approved for issue are adjusted in the year the compensation and remuneration were recognized. If there is a change in the proposed amounts after the parent company only financial statements authorized for issue, the differences are recorded as a change in accounting estimate.

The bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors for 2014 and 2013 distributed in cash resolved at the Company’s annual shareholders’ meetings in June 2015 and June 2014, respectively, were as follows:

	For Year 2014		For Year 2013
		NT$		NT$
Bonus to employees	$	2,335,600	$	1,587,300
Remuneration to directors and supervisors		211,200		144,000

The differences between the resolved amounts of the bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors and the accrued amounts reflected in the parent company only financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was deemed changes in estimates. The difference was NT$1,330 thousand and NT$385 thousand and had been adjusted in earnings for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Information regarding the bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors resolved by the Company’s board of directors and the shareholders’ meeting is available on the Market Observation Post System website of the TSE.

The Company is able to settle the compensation or bonuses paid to employees in cash or shares. The Company assumed that the entire amount of the compensation or bonus would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the shareholders approve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

22. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

Employee share option plans

In order to attract, retain and reward employees, the Company has five employee share option plans for full-time employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including 100,000 thousand share options approved to be granted in April 2015. Each share option represents the right to purchase one ordinary share of the Company when exercised. Under the terms of the plans, share options are granted at an exercise price equal to or not less than the closing price of the ordinary shares listed on the TSE at the grant date. The option rights of these plans are valid for 10 years, non-transferable and exercisable at certain percentages subsequent to the second anniversary of the grant date. For any subsequent changes in the Company’s capital structure, the exercise price is accordingly adjusted.

Fair value of share options

Share options granted by the Company in 2015 was measured using the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s Trinomial Tree Model (1995), and the inputs to the models were as follows:

	ASE Inc.
Share price at the grant date	NT$36.5
Exercise prices	NT$36.5
Expected volatility	27.02	%
Expected lives	10 years
Expected dividend yield	4.00	%
Risk free interest rates	1.34	%

Expected volatility was based on the historical share price volatility over the past 10 years of ASE Inc. Under the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s Trinomial Tree Model (1995), the Company assumed that employees would exercise the options after vesting date when the share price was 1.88 times the exercise price to allow for the effects of early exercise.

3) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

a) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 2 fair value measurement

Financial Instruments	Valuation Techniques and Inputs
Derivatives - swap contracts, forward exchange contracts, foreign currency option contracts and interest rate swap contracts	Discounted cash flows - Future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates or interest rates at balance sheet dates and contract forward exchange rates and interest rates or interest rates, discounted at rates that reflected the credit risk of various counterparties.
Derivatives - conversion option, redemption option and put option of convertible bonds	Option pricing model - Incorporation of present value techniques and reflect both the time value and the intrinsic value of options
Private-placement convertible bonds	Discounted cash flows - Future cash flows are estimated based on observable stock prices and conversion prices, discounted at rates that reflected the credit risk of various counterparties.

b) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 3 fair value measurement

The fair value of the Company’s investments in unquoted shares on Level 3 fair value measurement were measured using market approach based on investees’ recent financing activities, technical development, valuation of investees comparable companies, market conditions and other economic indicators.

The fair values of investments in limited partnership are measured using discounted cash flow technique and a comparable multiple technique. The significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow technique were discount rates of 12.34% and the terminal growth rates of 2.50%. Any significant increase in discount rates or any significant decrease in terminal growth rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of the investments in limited partnership. The significant unobservable input used in the comparable multiple technique was EBITDA multiples of 9.73. Any significant decrease in multiples would result in a decrease in the fair value of the investments in limited partnership.

Note 2:      The balances included financial liabilities measured at amortized cost which comprised short-term borrowings, short-term bills payable, trade and other payables (including related parties), bonds payable and long-term borrowings.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The derivative instruments used by the Company are to mitigate risks arising from ordinary business operations. All derivative transactions entered into by the Company are designated as either hedging or trading. Derivative transactions entered into for hedging purposes must hedge risk against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates arising from operating activities. The currencies and the amount of derivative instruments held by the Company must match its hedged assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The Company’s risk management department monitors risks to mitigate risk exposures, reports unsettled position, transaction balances and related gains or losses to the Company’s chief financial officer on monthly basis.

1) Market risk

The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Gains or losses arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of a variety of derivative financial instruments were approximately offset by those of hedged items. Interest rate risk was not significant due to the cost of capital was expected to be fixed.

There had been no change to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

a) Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The Company had sales and purchases as well as financing activities denominated in foreign currency which exposed the Company to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company

-62-

entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk to minimize the fluctuations of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities as well as derivative instruments which exposed the Company to foreign currency exchange rate risk at each balance sheet date are presented in Note 31.

The Company was principally subject to the impact to exchange rate fluctuation in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen against NT$. 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency exchange rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included financial assets and liabilities. The changes in profit before income tax due to a 1% change in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen both against NT$ would be NT$35,000 thousand and NT$3,400 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Hedging contracts and hedged items have been taken into account while measuring the changes in profit before income tax. As the year-end exposure did not reflect the exposure for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the abovementioned sensitivity analysis was unrepresentative of those years.

b) Interest rate risk

Except a portion of long-term borrowings and bonds payable at fixed interest rates, the Company was exposed to interest rate risk because the Company borrowed funds at floating interest rates. Changes in market interest rates will lead to variances in effective interest rates of borrowings from which the future cash flow fluctuations arise.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at each balance sheet date were as follows:

	December 31
	2015		2014
	NT$		NT$
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial liabilities	$	7,981,190	$	21,736,100
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets		8,710,362		11,432,949
Financial liabilities		75,431,163		57,040,407

For assets and liabilities with floating interest rates, a 100 basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel. If interest rates had been 100 basis points (1%) higher or lower and all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have decreased or increased approximately by NT$677,000 thousand and NT$456,000 thousand, respectively.

c) Other price risk

The Company was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in available-for-sale financial assets. If equity prices were 1% higher or lower, other comprehensive income before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have increased or decreased approximately by NT$4,700 thousand and NT$9,500 thousand, respectively.

In addition, the Company was also exposed to the Company’s ordinary share price risk through Bonds Options recognized as financial liabilities held for trading. 7% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting price risk internally to key management personnel. If the Company’s

-63-

ordinary share price increased or decreased by 7%, profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have decreased approximately by NT$605,000 thousand and NT$651,000 thousand, respectively, or increased approximately by NT$638,000 thousand and NT$608,000 thousand, respectively.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company’s credit risk arises from cash, receivables and other financial assets. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk was the carrying amounts of financial assets in the parent company only balance sheets.

The Company dealt with counterparties creditworthy and has a credit policy and trade receivable management procedures to ensure recovery and evaluation of trade receivables. The Company’s counterparties consisted of a large number of customers and banks and there was no significant concentration of credit risk exposure.

3) Liquidity risk

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate working capital and banking facilities to fulfill the demand for cash flow used in the Company’s operation and capital expenditure. In addition, some creditors to the Company’s current liabilities are the Company’s subsidiaries and there’s no risk of obligation for prompt repayments. The Company also monitors its compliance with all the loan covenants. Liquidity risk is not considered to be significant.

In the table below, financial liabilities with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of counter-parties choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amounts were derived from the interest rates at each balance sheet date.
