INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

PWCR20003176

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Perfect Corp.

 

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Perfect Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

 

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

 

Key audit matters for the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:

 

 

~3~

 

 

 

Accuracy of operating revenue recognition timing

 

Description

 

Please refer to Note 4(24) for description of the accounting policy on operating revenue and Note 6(15) for details of operating revenue.

 

The Group’s main sales type is granting licences of mobile applications or platforms and relevant services. When contracts with customers include both granting licences and promised services, the Group shall identify whether it involves a single or multiple performance obligations, based on the nature of the promises, within the context of the contracts. Further, the Group recognises the revenue by determining whether it satisfies the performance obligations at a point in time or over time. Given that the revenue is recognised primarily by judgement, it leads to different cut-offs near the financial period-end. Additionally, the amounts involved would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider that the accuracy of revenue recognition timing from granting licences of mobile applications or platforms as one of the key audit matters for this fiscal year’s audit.

 

How our audit addressed the matter

 

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

 

1.Obtained an understanding and tested the effectiveness of internal control adopted by management for revenue recognition timing from granting licences of mobile applications or platforms. This consisted of verifying the nature of the promises within the context of the contracts, identifying whether it involves a single or multiple performance obligations, and ensuring that the revenue has been properly recorded.

 

2.Performed cut-off test on revenue from granting licences of mobile applications or platforms near the financial period-end, including verifying licensing contracts, the terms and conditions of transactions, and the transfer date or go-live date of the mobile applications or platforms, identifying whether it involves a single or multiple performance obligations, and confirming that the revenue is recorded in the proper period.

 

Fair value measurement of convertible preference shares

 

Description

 

Please refer to Note 4(17) for description of the accounting policy on convertible preference shares, Note 5(2) for the accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to the measurement of fair value, and Note 12(3) for details of fair value of financial liabilities.

 

The issuance of convertible preference shares by the Group was recognised under financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition due to their compound instrument feature, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.

~4~

 

 

 

Since the abovementioned fair value estimates are subject to management’s judgement and involve many assumptions and estimates having high uncertainty. Thus, we consider that the measurement of fair value of convertible preference shares as one of the key audit matters for this fiscal year’s audit.

 

How our audit addressed the matter

 

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

 

1.Obtained an understanding and evaluated the Group’s related policies and valuation process on the fair value measurement of convertible preference shares, including collecting internal and external data, assessing long-term and short-term business forecast and technological shifts in respective industries.

 

2.Evaluated whether management adopted an adequate measurement method which was commonly adopted in the same industry and environment.

 

3.Obtained the valuation report from the expert appraiser, and performed the following procedures:

 

(1)Examined inputs and calculation formulas used in valuation methods, reviewed information and documents in respect of the relevance and the reliability of data source and agreed such data to their supporting documents.

 

(2)Evaluated the sensitivity analysis on assumptions and inputs executed by management to ensure that management has adequately managed the impact of the estimates and assumptions uncertainty on the measurement of fair value.

 

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

~5~

 

 

 

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

1.Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

2.Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

 

3.Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

4.Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

5.Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

~6~

 

 

 

6.Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

4.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

 

(1)Compliance statement

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).

 

(2)Basis of preparation

 

A.Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

 

(a)Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

 

(b)Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

 

B.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

 

(3)Basis of consolidation

 

A.Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:

 

(a)All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

 

(b)Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

~15~

 

(c)When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

~16~

 

(4)Foreign currency translation

 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.

 

A.Foreign currency transactions and balances

 

(a)Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

 

(b)Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.

 

(c)Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

 

(d)All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.

 

B.Translation of foreign operations

 

The operating results and financial position of all the group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 

(a)Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

 

(b)Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

~17~

 

(c)All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

 

(5)Classification of current and non-current items

 

A.Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:

 

(a)Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

 

(b)Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

 

(c)Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

 

(d)Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

 

B.Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

 

(a)Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;

 

(b)Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

 

(c)Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

 

(d)Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

 

(6)Cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

 

(7)Financial assets at amortised cost

 

A.Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:

 

(a)The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.

 

(b)The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

 

B.On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

~18~

 

C.At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

 

D.The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

 

(8)Accounts receivable

 

A.Accounts receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

 

B.The short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

 

(9)Impairment of financial assets

 

For financial assets at amortised cost, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

 

(10)Derecognition of financial assets

 

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

 

(11)Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

 

(12)Property, plant and equipment

 

A.Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost.

 

B.Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

~19~

 

C.Property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method, except that the accelerated depreciation method is used by the US subsidiary, to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

 

D.The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

   
Leasehold improvements 5 years
Machinery 3 years
Office equipment 5 years

 

(13)Leasing arrangements (lessee) – right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities

 

A.Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

B.Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable. The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.

 

C.At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability. The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

~20~

 

(14)Intangible assets

 

A.Computer software

 

Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years.

 

B.Other intangible assets, mainly composed of royalties which paid for program source code and intellectual property rights, are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 years.

 

(15)Impairment of non-financial assets

 

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.

 

(16)Accounts payable

 

A.Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of goods or services.

 

B.The short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

 

(17)Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

 

A.The issuance of the preference shares with the conversion options by the Group was recognised under ‘financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition’ due to their compound instrument feature. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:

 

(a)Hybrid (combined) contracts; or

 

(b)They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

 

(c)They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management policy.

 

B.On initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

~21~

 

(18)Derecognition of financial liabilities

 

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.

 

(19)Provisions

 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

 

(20)Employee benefits

 

A.Short-term employee benefits

 

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.

 

B.Pensions

 

(a)Defined contribution plans

 

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

 

(b)Defined benefit plans

 

i.Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

~22~

 

ii.Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

 

(21)Employee share-based payment

 

For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

 

(22)Income tax

 

A.The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.

 

B.The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

 

C.Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

~23~

 

D.Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

 

E.Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax income assets against current income tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

(23)Share capital

 

A.Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

 

B.Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

 

(24)Revenue recognition

 

A.The Group’s main sales type is granting licences of mobile applications or platforms and relevant services.

 

B.The Group enters into the contract with customers to grant licences of mobile applications or platforms. Some contracts with customers may include one or multiple promised services. If the promise to grant a licence is distinct from other promised services in the contract, such promise to grant a licence is a distinct performance obligation. Conversely, if a promise to grant a licence is highly interdependent or highly interrelated and not distinct from other promised services in the contract, such promise to grant a licence and those other services shall be accounted together as a performance obligation. The Group recognises the revenue by determining whether the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time.

~24~

 

C.When a licence is a single performance obligation, the revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis throughout the licensing period if the nature of the Group’s promise in granting a licence is a promise to provide a right to access the Group’s intellectual property to which the customer has rights as the customer would be affected by the major activities undertaken by the Group on the mobile applications. In case the abovementioned conditions are not met, the nature of the Group’s promise in granting a licence is a promise to provide a right to use the Group’s intellectual property and therefore the revenue is recognised when transferring the licence to a customer at a point in time.

 

D.When a promise to grant a licence is not distinct from other promised services, the Group satisfies the performance obligation and recognises revenue over time if the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs. If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, then the Group satisfies a performance obligation and recognised revenue at a point in time.

 

E.When the Group provides customised software development services to the customer, the revenue from a fixed price contract is recognised at a point in time when the services are transferred after the performance obligations stipulated in the mutually agreed contract are completed.

 

F.Sales of products are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. The sales usually are made with a credit term of 30 days. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

~25~

 

(25)Government grants

 

Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

 

(26)Operating segments

 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Group’s chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.

 

5.Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Key Sources of Assumption Uncertainty

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:

 

(1)Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies:

 

None.

 

(2)Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

 

Fair value measurement of convertible preference shares

 

The issuance of convertible preference shares by the Group was recognised under ‘financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition’ due to their compound instrument feature. The fair value of convertible preference shares is determined considering those companies’ recent funding raising activities and technical development status, fair value assessment of other companies of the same type, market conditions and other economic indicators existing on balance sheet date. Any changes in these judgements and estimates will impact the fair value measurement of these convertible preference shares. Please refer to Note 12(3) for the financial instruments fair value information.

~26~

 

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying amounts of the Group’s convertible preference shares were $108,427 and $56,405, respectively.

Others   36    10 
   $79,018   $28,283 

 

A.The Group transacts with a variety of financial institutions all with high credit quality to disperse credit risk, so it expects that the probability of counterparty default is remote.

 

B.For a subsidy program provided by Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Group applied for a letter of performance guarantee issued by the bank in September 2018, and pledged time deposits as collateral at the same time. The subsidy program was ended in June, 2020, and the Group retrieved the letter of performance guarantee, as well as redeemed the pledge of time deposits in November, 2020. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, cash and cash equivalents amounting to $0 and $374 were pledged to others as collateral, respectively, and were classified as ‘current financial assets at amortised cost’.

B.As of December 31, 2020, the Company has issued convertible preference shares five times in total. The details are as follows:

 

(a)In the end of July 2017, the Company issued 31,427 thousand shares of convertible preference shares (Series A) which was converted from convertible bonds that the Company issued on November 9, 2016. The Company issued $10,000 of convertible bonds with an interest rate of 0% per annum. The bonds matured 0.81 years from November 9, 2016 to August 31, 2017 and would be redeemed in cash at the face value at the maturity date. The bondholders have the right to ask for conversion of the bonds into convertible preference shares of the Company. On July 7, 2017, the Board of Directors, during the meeting, resolved that if bondholders convert the bonds into the convertible preference shares before the end of July 2017, they would be granted a stock warrant (Series A warrant) to purchase a certain quantity of additional preference shares at the initial conversion price, to be fully exercised prior to the end of May, 2018. The convertible bonds were fully converted into convertible preference shares (Series A) in the end of July 2017. However, the Company reissued stock warrants with same conditions to replace the initial stock warrants, which were exercisable by November 30, 2018, as resolved at the meeting of the Board of Directors on May 31, 2018.

 

(b)On October 17, 2017, the Company issued 47,140 thousand shares of convertible preference shares (Series A-1) with a total issuance amount of $15,000.

 

(c)On November 19, 2018, the Company issued 15,713 thousand shares of convertible preference shares (Series A) which were wholly-acquired by the holders of stock warrants (Series A warrant) with a total issuance amount of $5,000.

 

(d)On July 8, 2019, the Company issued 73,206 thousand shares of convertible preference shares (Series B) with a total issuance amount of $25,000.

 

(e)On December 11, 2020, the Company issued 74,844 thousand shares of convertible preference shares (Series C-1 and C-2) with a total issuance amount of $50,000.

 

C.The issuance of convertible preference shares by the Company amounting to $108,427 and $56,405 was recognised under ‘financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition’ on December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, due to their compound instrument feature.

~33~

 

When the Company issued the convertible preference shares (Series C-1 and C-2), some of the issuance terms were amended. The initial convertible preference shareholders (Series A, Series A-1 and Series B) can apply the issuance terms retrospectively. Highlights of the issuance terms of the convertible preference shares issued by the Company are summarised as follows:

 

(a)The Company issued a total of $105,000 of convertible preference shares with no maturity. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding up of the Company or any Deemed Liquidation Event, the convertible preference shares should be repaid first at 150% of the issuing price but with the residual value as the limit. The ranking of claims are holders of convertible preference shares (Series C), holders of convertible preference shares (Series B) and holders of convertible preference shares (Series A). If a merger or reorganisation of the Company occurred, such events shall be seemed as Deemed Liquidation Event. The majority of convertible preference shareholders, voting as a single class, may elect not to apply the process of liquidation. Thus, if an uncertain event occurred in the future, the Company has a contractual obligation to deliver cash to convertible preference shareholders.

 

(b)The conversion price of the convertible preference shares is the initial acquisition price, and is subject to adjustments if the condition of the anti-dilution provision occurs subsequently. The conversion price will be reset based on the pricing model specified in the terms of conversion. Accordingly, the Company has a contractual obligation to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments to convertible preference shareholders.

 

(c)In the following events, the convertible preference shareholders have the right to require the Company to redeem convertible preference shares at the initial issuance price plus 8% compound interest and dividends declared not paid yet:

 

i.Before 2026 ends, if the Company does not publicly issue shares at specific price, sell at least half of the business or the first majority shareholder sells its shares, the holders of convertible preference shares (Series C) could exercise its redeemable right;

 

ii.If there’s any material breach by the Company, in contravention of any applicable laws, fraud or the main holders of convertible preference shares (Series B) exercise its redeemable rights, all the holders of convertible preference shares could exercise the redemption right;

 

iii.If the Company or subsidiary in Taiwan violates the PRC Investment Regulation, the main holders of the convertible preference shares (Series C) could exercise the redemption right.

 

(d)The Company entered into a Business Cooperation Agreement with the main holders of convertible preference shares (Series B) under the initial preference share contract. In the event of any material breach of the Business Cooperation Agreement by the Group, the main holders of convertible preference shares (Series B) have the right to require the Company to redeem convertible preference shares at the initial issuance price plus 20% interest and dividends declared not paid yet.

~34~

 

(e)The convertible preference shareholders have the right to ask for conversion of the preference shares into common shares of the Company from the issuance date. The rights and obligations of the new shares converted from the preference shares are the same as the issued and outstanding common shares.

(10)Pensions

 

A.(a)The Group’s subsidiary Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) was incorporated in Taiwan, which has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, covering all regular foreign employees’ service years. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method, to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) will make contributions for the deficit by next March.

(d)The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan)’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorised by the Regulator. Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in, accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

 

(e)The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

 

   Year ended
December 31, 2020
   Year ended
December 31, 2019
 
Discount rate   0.45%   1.00%
Future salary increases   3.00%   3.00%

~37~

 

Future mortality rate was estimated based on the 5th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table.

 

Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

 

   Discount rate   Future salary increases 
  

Increase 

0.25% 

  

Decrease 

0.25% 

  

Increase 

0.25% 

  

Decrease 

0.25% 

 
December 31, 2020                    
Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation  $(5)  $6   $6   $(5)
December 31, 2019                    
Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation  $(3)  $3   $3   $(3)

 

The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.

 

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

 

(f)Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) for the year ending December 31, 2021 amount to $5.

 

(g)As of December 31, 2020, the weighted average duration of the retirement plan is 26 years. The analysis of timing of the future pension payment was as follows:

 

Within 1 year  $ - 
1-5 year(s)    - 
Over 5 years   95 
   $95 

 

B.(a)Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) has established a defined contribution pension plan (the “New Plan”) under the Labor Pension Act (the “Act”), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) contributes monthly an amount based on 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon termination of employment.

 

(b)The pension costs under defined contribution pension plans of Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $389 and $319, respectively.

(b)Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (the Group’s finance department) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Group’s finance department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units. The Board has written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

iii.The total exchange loss, including realised and unrealised, arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, amounted to $770 and $237, respectively.

 

~52~

 

(b)Credit risk

 

i.Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms and the financial assets at amortised cost.

 

ii.The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

 

iii.The default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 180 days.

 

iv.The Group adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition: If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

 

v.The Group classifies customers’ accounts receivable in accordance with geographic area and credit rating of customer. The Group applies the modified approach to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.

 

vi.The Group used the forecastability of Chung-hua Institute for Economic Research’s Taiwan economic forecast to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable.

 

vii.The loss amounts of accounts receivable allowance using simplified method were not significant, thus, the loss was not recognised as at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

(c)Liquidity risk

 

i.Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department. The Group’s finance department monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.

 

~53~

 

ii.Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Group’s finance department. The Group’s finance department invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts and time deposits, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient head-room as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts. As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group held money market position of $71,115 and $31,590, respectively, that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.

 

iii.The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(3)Fair value information

 

A.The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

 

Level 1:Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

~54~

 

Level 2:Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3:Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s compound instrument such as convertible preference shares is included in Level 3.

 

B.The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments not measured at fair value (including cash and cash equivalents, current financial assets at amortised cost, accounts receivable, other receivables (including related parties), guarantee deposits paid, accounts payable, other payables (including related parties) and guarantee deposits received) are approximate to their fair values.

 

C.The related information of financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the liabilities at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

 

(a)The related information of natures of the liabilities is as follows:

 

  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total

Convertible preference shares  $-   $-   $108,427   $108,427

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss                     
Compound instrument:                    
Convertible preference shares  $-   $-   $56,405   $56,405 

 

(b)The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

i.The fair value of financial instruments without active markets is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates quoted from Reuters).

 

~55~

 

 

ii.The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk, etc. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.

 

iii.The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit quality.

 

D.The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

   2020   2019 
   Compound instrument:
Convertible preference

Issued in the period   50,000    25,000 
At December 31  $108,427   $56,405 

 

E.For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3.

 

~56~

 

 

F.The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

 

PWCR19002995

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Perfect Corp.

 

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Perfect Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

 

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

 

 

~2~

 

 

 

Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows: 

Accuracy of operating revenue recognition timing 

Description 

Please refer to Note 4(23) for description of the accounting policy on operating revenue, and Note 6(15) for details of operating revenue. 

The Group’s main sales type is granting licences of mobile applications or platforms and relevant services. When contracts with customers include both granting licences and promised services, the Group shall identify whether it involves a single or multiple performance obligations, based on the nature of the promises, within the context of the contracts. Further, the Group recognises the revenue by determining whether it satisfies the performance obligations at a point in time or over time. Given that the revenue is recognised primarily by judgement, it leads to different cut-offs near the financial period-end. Additionally, the amounts involved would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider that the accuracy of revenue recognition timing from granting licences of mobile applications or platforms as one of the key audit matters for this fiscal year’s audit. 

How our audit addressed the matter 

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter: 

1.Obtained an understanding and tested the effectiveness of internal control adopted by management for revenue recognition timing from granting licences of mobile applications or platforms. This consisted of verifying the nature of the promises within the context of the contracts, identifying whether it involves a single or multiple performance obligations, and ensuring that the revenue has been properly recorded.

2.Performed cut-off test on revenue from granting licences of mobile applications or platforms near the financial period-end, including verifying licensing contracts, the terms and conditions of transactions, and the transfer date or go-live date of the mobile applications or platforms, identifying whether it involves a single or multiple performance obligations, and confirming that the revenue is recorded in the proper period.

Fair value measurement of convertible preference shares 

Description 

Please refer to Note 4(18) for description of the accounting policy on convertible preference shares, Note 5(2) for the accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to the measurement of fair value, and Note 12(3) for details of fair value of financial liabilities. 

~3~

 

 

 

The issuance of convertible preference shares by the Group was recognised under financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition due to their compound instrument feature, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss. 

Since the abovementioned fair value estimates are subject to management’s judgement and involve many assumptions and estimates having high uncertainty. Thus, we consider that the measurement of fair value of convertible preference shares as one of the key audit matters for this fiscal year’s audit. 

How our audit addressed the matter 

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter: 

1.Obtained an understanding and evaluated the Group’s related policies and valuation process on the fair value measurement of convertible preference shares, including collecting internal and external data, assessing long-term and short-term business forecast and technological shifts in respective industries.

2.Evaluated whether management adopted an adequate measurement method which was commonly adopted in the same industry and environment.

3.Obtained the valuation report from the expert appraiser, and performed the following procedures:

(1)Examined inputs and calculation formulas used in valuation methods, reviewed information and documents in respect of the relevance and the reliability of data source and agreed such data to their supporting documents.

(2)Evaluated the sensitivity analysis on assumptions and inputs executed by management to ensure that management has adequately managed the impact of the estimates and assumptions uncertainty on the measurement of fair value.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

~4~

 

 

 

Those charged with governance, including the supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

 

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

1.Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

2.Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

 

3.Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

4.Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

~5~

 

 

 

5.Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

6.Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

PERFECT CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

(EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF NEW TAIWAN DOLLARS, EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE INDICATED)

 

1.HISTORY AND ORGANISATION

 

Perfect Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Cayman Islands with limited liability under the International Business Companies Act on February 13, 2015. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) are primarily engaged in the design, development and sales of mobile applications and internet social platform.

 

2.THE DATE OF AUTHORISATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORISATION

 

These consolidated financial statements were authorised for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 24, 2020.

 

3.APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS

 

(1)Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”)

 

New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:

 

New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments   Effective date by
International Accounting
Standards Board
Amendments to IFRS 9,  ‘Prepayment features with negative compensation’   January 1, 2019
IFRS 16,  ‘Leases’   January 1, 2019
Amendments to IAS 19,  ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement’   January 1, 2019
Amendments to IAS 28,  ‘Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures’   January 1, 2019
IFRIC 23,  ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’   January 1, 2019
Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle   January 1, 2019

~12~

 

Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.

 

IFRS 16, ‘Leases’

 

A.IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognise a ‘right-of-use asset’ and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.

 

B.The Group has elected to apply IFRS 16 by not restating the comparative information (referred herein as the ‘modified retrospective approach’) when applying “IFRSs” effective in 2019 as endorsed by the FSC. Accordingly, the Group increased ‘right-of-use asset’ by $2,554 and increased ‘lease liability’ by $2,554 with respect to the lease contracts of lessees on January 1, 2019.

 

C.The Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard at the date of initial application of IFRS 16:

 

(a)Reassessment as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is not required, instead, the application of IFRS 16 depends on whether or not the contracts were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

 

(b)The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.

 

(c)The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of ‘right-of-use asset’.

 

D.The Group calculated the present value of lease liabilities by using the weighted average incremental borrowing interest rate of 1.79%.

 

E.The Group recognised lease liabilities which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, ‘Leases’. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The amount of aforementioned present values is the same as the amount of lease liabilities recognised on January 1, 2019.

~13~

 

(2)Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Group

 

New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2020 are as follows:

 

    Effective date by
    International Accounting
New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments   Standards Board
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8,  ‘Disclosure Initiative-Definition of Material’   January 1, 2020
Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Definition of a business’   January 1, 2020
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, ‘Interest rate benchmark reform’   January 1, 2020

 

The above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.

 

(3)IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

 

New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC are as follows:

 

    Effective date by
    International Accounting
New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments   Standards Board
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, ‘Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture’   To be determined by
International Accounting
Standards Board
IFRS 17,  ‘Insurance contracts’   January 1, 2021
Amendments to IAS 1, ‘Classification of liabilities as current or non-current’   January 1, 2022

 

The above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.

 

4.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

 

(1)Compliance statement

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).

 

~14~

 

(2)Basis of preparation

 

A.Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

 

(a)Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

 

(b)Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

 

B.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

 

(3)Basis of consolidation

 

A.Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:

 

(a)All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

 

(b)Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

 

(c)When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

(4)Foreign currency translation

 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is United States dollars; however, the consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars under the regulations of the country where the consolidated financial statements are reported to the regulatory authorities as the Group is preparing to list its shares on Taiwan Stock Exchange. When translating the consolidated financial statements into New Taiwan Dollars, all assets and liabilities are translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the balance sheet; except for the balance of retained earnings which is carried forward from the previous period, the remaining accounts of the equity are based on historical exchange rates. Profit and loss accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rates. The exchange differences arising from the translation are recognised in the “financial statements translation differences of foreign operations” as an adjustment item for equity.

 

A.Foreign currency transactions and balances

 

(a)Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

 

(b)Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.

 

(c)Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

 

~17~

 

(d)All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.

 

B.Translation of foreign operations

 

The operating results and financial position of all the group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 

(a)Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

 

(b)Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

 

(c)All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

 

(5)Classification of current and non-current items

 

A.Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:

 

(a)Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

 

(b)Assets held mainly for trading purpose;

 

(c)Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

 

(d)Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

 

B.Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

 

(a)Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;

 

(b)Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

 

(c)Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

 

(d)Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

 

~18~

 

(6)Cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

 

(7)Financial assets at amortised cost

 

A.Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:

 

(a)The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.

 

(b)The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

 

B.On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

 

C.At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

 

D.The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

 

(8)Accounts and notes receivable

 

A.Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

 

B.The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

 

(9)Impairment of financial assets

 

For financial assets at amortised cost, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

 

~19~

 

(10)Derecognition of financial assets

 

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

 

(11)Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

 

(12)Property, plant and equipment

 

A.Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost.

 

B.Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

 

C.Property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method, except that the accelerated depreciation method is used by the US subsidiary, to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

 

D.The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

 

Leasehold improvements 5 years
Machinery 3 years
Office equipment 5 years

~20~

 

(13)Leasing arrangements (lessee) — right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities

 

Effective 2019

 

A.Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

B.Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable. The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.

 

C.At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability. The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

 

(14)Operating leases (lessee)

 

Prior to 2019

 

Payments made under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

(15)Intangible assets

 

A.Computer software

 

Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years.

 

B.Other intangible assets, mainly Program Source Code, Intellectual Property Rights and Patents, are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 years.

 

(16)Impairment of non-financial assets

 

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

 

~21~

 

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.

 

(17)Accounts payable

 

A.Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of goods or services.

 

B.The short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

 

(18)Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

 

A.The issuance of the preference shares with the conversion options by the Group was recognised under ‘financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition’ due to their compound instrument feature. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:

 

(a)Hybrid (combined) contracts; or

 

(b)They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

 

(c)They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management policy.

 

B.On initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

 

(19)Derecognition of financial liabilities

 

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.

 

(20)Employee benefits

 

A.Short-term employee benefits

 

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.

 

~22~

 

B.Pensions

 

(a)Defined contribution plans

 

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

 

(b)Defined benefit plans

 

i.Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

 

ii.Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

 

(21)Employee share-based payment

 

For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

 

~23~

 

(22)Income tax

 

A.The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.

 

B.The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

 

C.Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

 

D.Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

 

E.Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax income assets against current income tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

~24~

 

(23)Revenue recognition

 

A.The Group’s main sales type is granting licences of mobile applications or platforms and relevant services.

 

B.The Group enters into the contract with customers to grant licences of mobile applications or platforms. Some contracts with customers may include one or multiple promised services. If the promise to grant a licence is distinct from other promised services in the contract, such promise to grant a licence is a distinct performance obligation. Conversely, if a promise to grant a licence is highly interdependent or highly interrelated and not distinct from other promised services in the contract, such promise to grant a licence and those other services shall be accounted together as a performance obligation. The Group recognises the revenue by determining whether the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time.

 

C.When a licence is a single performance obligation, the revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis throughout the licensing period if the nature of the Group’s promise in granting a licence is a promise to provide a right to access the Group’s intellectual property to which the customer has rights as the customer would be affected by the major activities undertaken by the Group on the mobile applications. In case the abovementioned conditions are not met, the nature of the Group’s promise in granting a licence is a promise to provide a right to use the Group’s intellectual property and therefore the revenue is recognised when transferring the licence to a customer at a point in time.

 

D.When a promise to grant a licence is not distinct from other promised services, the Group satisfies the performance obligation and recognises revenue over time if the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs. If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, then the Group satisfies a performance obligation and recognised revenue at a point in time.

 

E.When the Group provides customised software development services to the customer, the revenue from a fixed price contract is recognised at a point in time when the services are transferred after the performance obligations stipulated in the mutually agreed contract are completed.

 

F.Sales of products are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. The sales usually are made with a credit term of 30 days. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

~25~

 

(24)Government grants

 

Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

 

(25)Operating segments

 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Group’s chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.

 

5.CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:

 

(1)Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies:

 

None.

~26~

 

(2)Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

 

Fair value measurement of convertible preference shares

 

The issuance of convertible preference shares by the Group was recognised under ‘financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition’ due to their compound instrument feature. The fair value of convertible preference shares is determined considering those companies’ recent funding raising activities and technical development status, fair value assessment of other companies of the same type, market conditions and other economic indicators existing on balance sheet date. Any changes in these judgements and estimates will impact the fair value measurement of these convertible preference shares. Please refer to Note 12(3) for the financial instruments fair value information.

 

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying amounts of the Group’s convertible preference shares were $1,691,015 and $936,001, respectively.

B.As of December 31, 2019, the Company has issued convertible preference shares for four times in total. The details are as follows:

 

(a)In the end of July 2017, the Company issued 31,427 thousand shares of convertible preference shares (Series A) which was converted from convertible bonds that the Company issued on November 9, 2016. The Company issued US$10,000 thousand (approximately NT$314,300 thousand) of convertible bonds with an interest rate of 0% per annum. The bonds matured 0.81 years from November 9, 2016 to August 31, 2017 and would be redeemed in cash at the face value at the maturity date. The bondholders have the right to ask for conversion of the bonds into convertible preference shares of the Company. On July 7, 2017, the Board of Directors, during the meeting, resolved that if bondholders convert the bonds into the convertible preference shares before the end of July 2017, they would be granted a stock warrant (Series A warrant) to purchase a certain quantity of additional preference shares at the initial conversion price, to be fully exercised prior to the end of May, 2018. The convertible bonds were fully converted into convertible preference shares (Series A) in the end of July 2017. However, the Company reissued stock warrants with same conditions to replace the initial stock warrants, which were exercisable by November 30, 2018, as resolved at the meeting of the Board of Directors on May 31, 2018.

~32~

 

(b)On October 17, 2017, the Company issued 47,140 thousand shares of convertible preference shares (Series A-1) with a total issuance amount of US$15,000 thousand (approximately NT$456,450 thousand).

 

(c)On November 19, 2018, the Company issued 15,713 thousand shares of convertible preference shares (Series A) which were wholly-acquired by the holders of stock warrants (Series A warrant) with a total issuance amount of US$5,000 thousand (approximately NT$150,750 thousand).

 

(d)On July 8, 2019, the Company issued 73,206 thousand shares of convertible preference shares (Series B) with a total issuance amount of US$25,000 thousand (approximately NT$772,750 thousand).

 

C.The issuance of convertible preference shares by the Company amounting to $1,691,015 and $936,001 was recognised under ‘financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition’ on December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, due to their compound instrument feature.

  

When the Company issued the convertible preference shares (Series B), some of the issuance terms were amended. The initial convertible preference shareholders (Series A and Series A-1) can apply the issuance terms retrospectively. Highlights of the issuance terms of the convertible preference shares issued by the Company are summarised as follows:

 

(a)The Company issued total US$55,000 thousand (approximately NT$1,691,015 thousand) of convertible preference shares with no maturity. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding up of the Company or any Deemed Liquidation Event, the convertible preference shares should be repaid first at 150% of the issuing price but with the residual value as the limit. If a merger or reorganisation of the Company occurred, such events shall be seemed as Deemed Liquidation Event. The majority of convertible preference shareholders, voting as a single class, may elect not to apply the process of liquidation. Thus, if an uncertain event occurred in the future, the Company has a contractual obligation to deliver cash to convertible preference shareholders. Due to the aforementioned factors, the Company recognised the convertible preference shares in current financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

~33~

 

(b)The conversion price of the convertible preference shares is the initial acquisition price, and is subject to adjustments if the condition of the anti-dilution provision occurs subsequently. The conversion price will be reset based on the pricing model specified in the terms of conversion. Accordingly, the Company has a contractual obligation to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments to convertible preference shareholders.

 

(c)In the event of any material breach by the Company or in contravention of any applicable laws, the convertible preference shareholders have the right to require the Company to redeem convertible preference shares at the initial issuance price plus 4% interest and dividends declared not paid yet.

 

(d)The Company entered into a Business Cooperation Agreement with the main holders of convertible preference shares (Series B) under the initial preference share contract. In the event of any material breach of the Business Cooperation Agreement by the Group, the main holders of convertible preference shares (Series B) have the right to require the Company to redeem convertible preference shares at the initial issuance price plus 20% interest and dividends declared not paid yet.

 

(e)The convertible preference shareholders have the right to ask for conversion of the preference shares into common shares of the Company from the issuance date. The rights and obligations of the new shares converted from the preference shares are the same as the issued and outstanding common shares.

(10)Pensions

 

A. (a)The Group’s subsidiary Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) was incorporated in Taiwan, which has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, covering all regular foreign employees’ service years. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method, to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) will make contributions for the deficit by next March.

(d)The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan)’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorised by the Regulator. Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in, accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

 

(e)The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

 

   Year ended  
December 31, 2019
   Year ended  
December 31, 2018
 
Discount rate   1.00%   1.25%
Future salary increases   3.00%   3.00%

 

Future mortality rate was estimated based on the 5th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table.

 

Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

 

   Discount rate   Future salary increases 
   Increase
0.25%
   Decrease
0.25%
   Increase
0.25%
   Decrease
0.25%
 
December 31, 2019                    
Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation  $(88)  $94   $92   $(86)
December 31, 2018                    
Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation  $(37)  $40   $40   $(37)

 

The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.

~37~

 

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

 

(f)Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) for the year ending December 31, 2020 amounts to $121.

 

(g)As of December 31, 2019, the weighted average duration of the retirement plan is 27 years. The analysis of timing of the future pension payment was as follows:

  

Within 1 year  $ - 
1-5 year(s)    - 
Over 5 years   1,767 
   $1,767 

 

B. (a)Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) has established a defined contribution pension plan (the “New Plan”) under the Labor Pension Act (the “Act”), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) contributes monthly an amount based on 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon termination of employment.

 

(b)The pension costs under defined contribution pension plans of Perfect Mobile Corp. (Taiwan) for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $9,870 and $8,751, respectively.

iii.The total exchange gain or loss, including realised and unrealised, arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, amounted to loss of $7,314 and gain of $1,240, respectively.

~51~

 

(b)Credit risk

 

i.Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms and the financial assets at amortised cost.

 

ii.The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

 

iii.The default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 180 days.

 

iv.The Group adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:

 

If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

 

v.The Group classifies customers’ accounts receivable in accordance with geographic area and credit rating of customer. The Group applies the modified approach to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.

 

vi.The Group used the forecastability of Chung-hua Institute for Economic Research’s Taiwan economic forecast to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable. The expected credit loss of accounts receivable that were not past due and past due was not significant on December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

(c)Liquidity risk

 

i.Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department. The Group’s finance department monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.

~52~

 

ii.Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Group’s finance department. The Group’s finance department invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts and time deposits, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient head-room as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group held money market position of $1,081,211 and $333,399, respectively, that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.

 

iii.The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(3)Fair value information

 

A.The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

 

Level 1:Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

~53~

 

Level 2:Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3:Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s compound instrument such as convertible preference shares is included in Level 3.

 

B.The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments not measured at fair value (including cash and cash equivalents, current financial assets at amortised cost, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables (including related parties), guarantee deposits paid, accounts payable, other payables (including related parties) and guarantee deposits received) are approximate to their fair values.

 

C.The related information of financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the liabilities at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

 

(a)The related information of natures of the liabilities is as follows:

(b)The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

i.The fair value of financial instruments without active markets is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates quoted from Reuters).

~54~

 

  

ii.The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.

 

iii.The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit quality.
