2. Business plan in 2016:

(1) Business objectives:

A. Continue to develop infrared products to expand high-end market share. Increase the proportion of high-end infrared LED products, and increase the combination of infrared surface emitting laser, InGaAs optical detector and other products to improve gross margin and market share.

C. Further the advantages of years of vertical integration. On one hand, develop market-oriented competitively priced differentiated products while on the other hand, continue to enhance the performance of existing products, thereby providing customers with the most competitive solutions.

(2) Forecast of sales volume and its basis:

Despite rising demand for LED lighting and a large number of traditional lighting applications being replaced, oversupply has resulted in 30%- 40% decline in the average unit price of LED, and many manufacturers are facing loss and gradual withdrawal from the market.

Due to the continuous growth of the LED lighting market, the global lighting market is expected to reach US$30.5 billion in 2016, in which LED lighting will up to 36% penetration rate . (Source:LEDinside)

Our business goals are as follows: Unit: Million pieces

Major Divisions Expected sales of 2016 Light emitting devices 23,198

Sensor devices 23,759 Total 46,957

(3) Sales forecast and sales policie:

A. Continue to enhance the quality of infrared optoelectronic products and high luminance LED products to meet high-end Japanese, Korean, European and US applications.

B. In line with the Company's business development and customer needs, increase the production of silicon power products accordingly to increased product market share.

3. Impact of the company’s future development strategy, external competitive environment, legal environment and Macroeconomic environment on the company:

(1) The company’s future development strategy:

Using the existing advantage of product development, the Company is actively involved in the development of new products, including a variety of short and long waveband light-emitting elements to layout and solidify the optical communications and medical beauty markets. In addition, it will integrate photovoltaic autonomous material (epitaxy, chips) and competitive advanced packaging technology to provide customers with packaged products that are high in price–performance ratio. At the same time, it will integrate lighting application products for business offices to achieve competitive LED terminal application products. Moreover, it will provide a full range of services, technical support and reasonable prices to secure existing customers and competitive market channels and create new markets and customers to increase market share.

(2) External competitive environment:

In 2016, the demand for LED lighting will continue to increase while prices will decrease. Due to the prop-up policy of the Chinese government, China's companies are actively securing overseas mergers and acquisitions, and coupled with the continuing development of specialized lighting in Europe, America, Japan and other countries, the market price of LED lighting is intensely competitive. However, emerging markets in countries such as India, Africa and Southeast Asia are subjected to local policies that encourage replacing lighting equipment and strengthening infrastructure development. Hence emerging markets are expected to develop and drive a certain level of demand.

Page 7: I. - OPTO · III.Corporate Governance Report ... enter the automotive lighting market and cooperate ... Profitability analysis: Unit: NT$ thousands Item 2015

(3) Impact of the legal environment:

Given legal stipulations and worldwide enforcement, and sales ban of incandescent light bulbs in the United States, Japan, mainland China and other countries, strengthening of public constructions in emerging markets and the shift to LED lighting facilities have substantially increased the demand for LED lighting in constructions, businesses and buildings. In Taiwan, the increased software and hardware capabilities and industrial value brought about by the Ministry of Economic Affairs' “Build the industrial supply chain through an organized team”, “Strengthen vendor competitiveness through field demonstration” and “Grasp overseas market opportunities by keeping with international standards ” strategies. Coupled with favorable LED niche application, the prospects are expected to drive market growth.

(4) Macroeconomic environment::

The oversupply of energy in 2015 has resulted in the price fall of raw material, leading to the overall weakening of the economy and subsequent impact on the LED market. Overall, the price competiveness of the 2016 LED market will continue to fall, and products remain subjected to price pressure. Coupled with the impact of the red supply chain, many manufacturers are facing elimination and merger, non-competitive manufacturers will eventually exit the LED market, and long-term supply and demand balance will be gradually re-established. OptoTech has been consistently cultivating the LED industry with innovation, customization and sustainable operations to achieve a distinct market through product differentiation.

In summary, although the LED industry is being severely challenged, OptoTech can perform well in this environment with the continual recognition and support of our shareholders, customers, suppliers and employees. The Company will exercise caution in observing market development, coordinate with government policies, develop overseas channels, diligently pursue revenue and profit growth and fulfill corporate governance to achieve maximum benefits for all stakeholders.

Optotech Corporation Limited

Statement of Internal Control System

Date:March 25,2016

Based on its internal control system in 2015, Optotech Corporation Limited (OPTOTECH) declares the results of its self-examination as below:

1. OPTOTECH is fully aware that establishing, operating, and maintaining an internal control system are the responsibility of its Board of Directors and management. OPTOTECH has established such a system aimed at providing reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the following categories: effectiveness and efficiency of operations (including profitability, performance, and safeguarding of assets), reliability of financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

2. An internal control system has inherent limitations. No matter how perfectly designed, an effective internal control system can provide only reasonable assurance of accomplishing the three objectives mentioned above. Moreover, the effectiveness of an internal control system may be subject to changes of environment or circumstances. Nevertheless, the internal control system of OPTOTECH contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and OPTOTECH takes corrective actions whenever a deficiency is identified.

3. OPTOTECH evaluates the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system based on the criteria provided in the Regulations Governing the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies (herein below, the “Regulations”). The criteria adopted by the Regulations identify five components of internal control based on the process of management control: 1.control environment, 2.risk assessment, 3.control activities, 4.information and communication, and 5.monitoring. Each component further contains several items. Please refer to the Regulations for details.

4. OPTOTECH has evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system according to the aforesaid criteria.

5. Based on the findings of the evaluation mentioned in the preceding paragraph, OPTOTECH believes that, during the year 2015, its internal control system (including its supervision and management of subsidiaries), as well as its internal controls to monitor the achievement of its objectives concerning operational effectiveness and efficiency, reliability of financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, were effective in design and operation, and reasonably assured the achievement of the above-stated objectives.

6. This Statement will be an integral part of OPTOTECH’s Annual Report for the year 2015 and Prospectus, and will be made public. Any falsehood, concealment, or other illegality in the content made public will entail legal liability under Articles 20, 32, 171, and 174 of the Securities and Exchange Law.

7. This Statement has been passed by the Board of Directors in their meeting held on March 25, 2016, with zero of the Seven attending directors expressing dissenting opinions, and the remainder all affirming the content of this Statement.

requirement. (d) Deduction of balance required by article (a) to article (c), adding the undistributed surplus

accumulated in the previous fiscal year. Except for a reserved portion, the stockholder’s meeting has decided the amount of bonus for stockholder to be appropriated.

Since OPTOTECH requires capital expenditure and well-rounded financial planning in order to pursue sustainable development. Hence, we will distribute both stock dividend and cash dividend in accordance with our growth rate and capital expenditure status, in which the cash dividend shall be no less than 50% of the total amount of the dividend distribution of the year that the dividend occurs.

B. Proposed Distribution of Dividend: As resolved in the board meeting held on March 25, 2016, the company’s 2015 surplus distribution is as below. The case will be sent to the board of supervisors for examination and approval and submitted to the regular shareholders meeting for recognition. Then, the board of directors will separately determine a base day to distribute the stock (cash) dividend.

(2) Industry Overview:

A. Current status and future development: 2015 was a sluggish year for LED. Propped up by the policies of the Chinese government, China's companies have vigorously secured overseas mergers and acquisitions, and with big companies growing bigger, the profit margins of small and medium sized companies fell sharply. Faced with losses, many manufacturers are gradually withdrawing from the market. However, the red supply chain continued to threaten local businesses such that in recent years, local LED manufacturers have been cutting back on the proportion of backlighting and lighting products. To resolve the problem, one solution is to become the main player in future markets by giving up on price competition and instead seek technology transformation and cross-industry cooperation and niche applications such as automotive lighting and medical equipment.

DIGITIMES Research estimates that by 2016, the annual growth of global high luminance LED output value will be 3.4%, reaching US$ 12.82 billion. In terms of number, up to 245.2 billion light bulbs will be used in 2016, and annual growth rate will be 31.8%, of which the highest growth rate of up to 57.1% will come from lighting applications. In terms of LED usage distribution, the lighting applications rate for 2016 will reach up to 58.7%. The highest proportion of lighting application will be in LED bulbs, reaching up to 35.9%, followed by tube LED light source, reaching up to 34.7%.

B. Relationship with Up-, Middle- and Downstream Companies: The current LED supply chain is relatively excessively lengthy: from upstream raw materials supplying: single crystal wafer, epitaxial wafer to midstream electrode production, die cutting, die testing, the downstream die bonding, wire bonding to packaging, and finally into the application side. In recent years, competition in the LED industry is very intense, resulting in constant changes in the overall up, middle and down stream industrial chain. Particularly in the lighting market where demand fell short of expectation, the oversupply of LED packages has resulted in a slow growth in LED. Coupled with price competition among China's manufacturers, investment, joint venture, merger and acquisition, strategic alliance and other business patterns have gradually emerged in the overall LED industrial chain, forcing small and medium sized companies to eventually withdraw from the market. However, from a long-term perspective, this could stimulate the overall LED industrial chain into restoring the supply and demand balance.

C. Product trends: LED emits cold light, and the advantages of low electricity consumption, long lifetime, no need for warm-up, quick response time, small dimension, vibration resistant and suitable for mass production have made LED applicable to all kinds of electronic products. The development overview is shown below:

Backlight application In response to the demand of compact and space saving dimension, along with the advancing technology, the cold light and compact feature of LED have been utilized for the backlight applications for electronic products such as cell phone display panel, LCD TV, and NB display panel.

Lighting application In light of the environmental protection issues such as greenhouse effect and energy saving, the low electricity consumption and cold light features of LED have enabled the applications as street lights, traffic signals, car lights and household lighting.

Large-size display Due to the compact size, good plasticity, and full-color capability, the system-controlled large-size LED displays have been constantly applied to entertainment venues, shopping malls, and concerts.

Sensor product This kind of product is usually based on LED with invisible light, and the applications are mainly consumer products such as household appliance, communication devices, computers, remote controls, ear thermometers, rapid temperature measuring devices, and temperature sensors for car or household appliance.

D. Product competition: 2016 remains a difficult year for the LED industry.Faced with slim trend in cell phones, panel specifications will change, and along with maturing OLED technology, the defect-free rate and capacity of panels continue to improve to meet the demand of LED backlight market. However, due to factors such as greater wear and tear, weaker luminance and color performance, shorter life-span and higher acquisition cost of OLED light compared to traditional LED, the penetration rate of OLED will not achieve substantial growth in the short term, which is the only respite for the LED industry. However in the long run, OLED remains a threat to the LED panel market; on the other hand, the LED industry should seek solutions such as better technology and lower cost as solutions.

According to the LEDinside research on 2016 Global LED Lighting Market Trend, prices for alternative light source products have fallen sharply and profitability is low. Hence lighting manufacturers will begin to shift their focuses to professional lighting and hope that governments can introduce domestic demand policies, stimulate spending on public construction and develop new construction projects. If such is the case, then the potential growth in construction lighting, commercial lighting and building lighting will be considerable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

(15)PWCR15002958

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Opto Tech Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Opto Tech Corporation and

subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive

income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial

statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion

on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes

examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An

audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,

as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a

reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material

respects, the consolidated financial position of Opto Tech Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31,

2015 and 2014, and their performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Rules

Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”, the International Financial

Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations as

endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Opto Tech Corporation as of and

for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and have expressed an unqualified opinion on such

financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF NEW TAIWAN DOLLARS,

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE INDICATED)

1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

Opto Tech Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated as a company limited by shares under

the provisions of the Company Law of the Republic of China (R.O.C.). The shares of the

Company have been traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since May 2, 1995. The Company and

its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) are primarily engaged in the

manufacture and sales of semiconductor components as well as research and development, design,

manufacture and sales of systems products.

2. THE DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORIZATION

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors

on March 25, 2016.

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”)

According to Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing No. 1030010325 issued by FSC on

April 3, 2014, commencing 2015, companies with shares listed on the TWSE or traded on the

Taipei Exchange or Emerging Stock Market shall adopt the 2013 version of IFRS (not

including IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’) as endorsed by the FSC and Regulations

Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers effective January 1,

2015 (collectively referred herein as the “2013 version of IFRS”) in preparing the

consolidated financial statements. The impact of adopting the 2013 version of IFRS is listed

below.

A. IAS 19 (revised), ‘Employee benefits’

The revised standard required additional disclosures for defined benefit plans.

B. IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’

The amendment requires entities to separate items presented in OCI classified by nature

into two groups on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss

subsequently when specific conditions are met. If the items are presented before tax then

the tax related to each of the two groups of OCI items (those that might be reclassified and

those that will not be reclassified) must be shown separately. Accordingly, the Group will

adjust its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.

C. IFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’

The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid

to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the

measurement date. The standard sets out a framework for measuring fair value from

market participants’ perspective, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements.

For non-financial assets only, fair value is determined based on the highest and best use of

the asset. Based on the Group’s assessment, the adoption of the standard has no significant

impact on its consolidated financial statements, and the Group will disclose additional

information about fair value measurements accordingly.

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) Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.

(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on present value of defined benefit

obligation less the net amount of pension fund assets.

B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of

certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment

in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher

degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are

significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(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 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.

Ownership (%)

(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) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the

owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income

is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this

results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent

losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are

accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as

owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are

adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly

in equity.

(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment

retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. 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.

F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group:None.

G. Details of the parent’s stock that is held by the subsidiary:Please refer to Note 13 Table 3

for holdings of marketable securities at the end of the period.

(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 New Taiwan

dollar, 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.

B. Translation of foreign operations

(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that

have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into

the presentation currency as follows:

i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing

exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at

average exchange rates of that period; and

iii All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange

differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately

reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when

the Group still retains partial interest in the former associate after losing significant

Page 90: I. - OPTO · III.Corporate Governance Report ... enter the automotive lighting market and cooperate ... Profitability analysis: Unit: NT$ thousands Item 2015

86

influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for

as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.

(c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative

exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are

proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In

addition, even when the Group still retains partial interest in the former foreign

subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions

should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operations.

(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 pay off 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 paid off within the normal operating cycle;

(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off 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 fair value through profit or loss

A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading.

Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for

the purpose of selling in the short-term.

B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

C. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value.

Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are

subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these

financial assets are recognised in profit or loss.

Page 91: I. - OPTO · III.Corporate Governance Report ... enter the automotive lighting market and cooperate ... Profitability analysis: Unit: NT$ thousands Item 2015

87

(8) Available-for-sale financial assets

A. Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this

category or not classified in any of the other categories.

B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognised

and derecognised using trade date accounting.

C. Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction

costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any

changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive

income. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an

active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured or derivatives that are

linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are

presented in ‘financial assets measured at cost’.

(9) Loans and receivables

Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the

entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business.

Accounts receivable are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured

at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(10) Impairment of financial assets

A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a

financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events

that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event') and that loss event

(or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or

group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

B. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an

impairment loss is as follows:

(a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor; (b) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal

payments; (c) The Group, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial

difficulty, granted the borrower a concession that a lender would not otherwise consider;

(d) It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

(e) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial

difficulties;

(f) Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future

cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets,

although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in

the group, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group

or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in

the group;

Page 92: I. - OPTO · III.Corporate Governance Report ... enter the automotive lighting market and cooperate ... Profitability analysis: Unit: NT$ thousands Item 2015

88

(g) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in

the technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates,

and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be

recovered; or

(h) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity

instrument below its cost.

C. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an

impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to

the category of financial assets:

(a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s

carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at

the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognised in profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the

decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss

was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit

or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its

amortised cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss

not been recognised previously. Impairment loss is recognised and reversed by

adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment

allowance account.

(b) Available-for-sale financial assets

The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s

acquisition cost (less any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value,

less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss,

and is reclassified from ‘other comprehensive income’ to ‘profit or loss’. Impairment

loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognised in profit or loss shall not be

reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognised and reversed by

adjusting the carrying amount of the asset directly.

(11) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:

A. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.

B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred

and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the

financial asset.

C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred

and however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.

(12) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using

the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work-in-process comprises

raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated

based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item-by-item

Page 93: I. - OPTO · III.Corporate Governance Report ... enter the automotive lighting market and cooperate ... Profitability analysis: Unit: NT$ thousands Item 2015

89

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.

(13) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be

recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, and a

sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair

value less costs to sell.

(14) Investments accounted for using equity method / associates

A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control.

In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds,

directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments

in associates are accounted for using equity method and are initially recognised at cost.

B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in

profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive

income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses

in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other

unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred

legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

C. When changes in an associate’s equity that are not recognised in profit or loss or other

comprehensive income of the associate and such changes not affecting the Group’s

ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises change in ownership

interests in the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.

D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to

the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated

unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure

consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or

acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership

percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then

‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for using equity method’ shall be adjusted

for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a

decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above

adjustment, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in

relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis

as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

(15) Property, plant and equipment

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

during the construction period are capitalised.

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

Page 94: I. - OPTO · III.Corporate Governance Report ... enter the automotive lighting market and cooperate ... Profitability analysis: Unit: NT$ thousands Item 2015

90

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. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are

depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated

useful lives. If 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:

Buildings 10 ~ 50 years

Machinery 8 ~ 10 years

Utility facilities 6 ~ 25 years

Pollution prevention facilities 8 ~ 20 years

Transportation equipment 3 ~ 5 years

Office equipment 3 ~ 7 years

Other equipment 3 ~ 25 years

(16) Leased assets/ leases (lessee)

Payments net of any incentives received from the lessor made under an operating lease are

recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(17) Intangible assets

Intangible assets, mainly computer software, is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line

basis over its estimated useful lives of 2~10 years.

(18) 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 recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior

years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying

amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical

cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.

(19) Borrowings

A. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred.

Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the

proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss

over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Page 95: I. - OPTO · III.Corporate Governance Report ... enter the automotive lighting market and cooperate ... Profitability analysis: Unit: NT$ thousands Item 2015

91

B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the

loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In

this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no

evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is

capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the

facility to which it relates.

(20) Notes and accounts payable

Notes and accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been

acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognised initially at

fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

However, short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at

initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

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

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading.

Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading and are initially

recognised at fair value. Derivatives are also categorized as financial liabilities held for

trading unless they are designated as hedges. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit

or loss. These financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and

any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.

(22) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability specified in the

contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

(23) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount 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.

(24) Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered

into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Any changes in the fair value are

recognised in profit or loss.

(25) Provisions

Provisions, mainly warranties, 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.

(26) Employee benefits

A. Short-term employee benefits

Page 96: I. - OPTO · III.Corporate Governance Report ... enter the automotive lighting market and cooperate ... Profitability analysis: Unit: NT$ thousands Item 2015

92

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 expenses in that period when the employees render service.

B. Pensions

(a) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expenses

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 defined benefit net obligation is calculated annually by independent

actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is

determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date)

that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that

have terms to maturity appoximating to the terms of the related pension liability.

ii. Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other

comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as

retained earnings.

C. Termination benefits

Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of

employment as a result from either the Group’s decision to terminate an employee’s

employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to accept an

offer of redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Group

recognises expense as it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it

recognises relating restructuring costs, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected to

be due more than 12 months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present

value.

D. Employees’, directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

Employees’ remuneration and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as

expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal obligation

or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference

between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is

accounted for as changes in estimates.

(27) 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

Page 97: I. - OPTO · III.Corporate Governance Report ... enter the automotive lighting market and cooperate ... Profitability analysis: Unit: NT$ thousands Item 2015

93

vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to

adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates

of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting

conditions at each balance sheet date. And ultimately, the amount of compensation cost

recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

(28) 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 charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or

substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and

its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates

positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax

regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to

be paid to the tax authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated

retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders

resolve to retain the earnings.

C. Deferred tax is 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 sheets. Deferred 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 tax is

determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by

the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is

realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

D. Deferred tax assets are 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 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 tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet

when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against

current 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.

F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits

resulting from research and development expenditures to the extent that it is possible that

future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.

Page 98: I. - OPTO · III.Corporate Governance Report ... enter the automotive lighting market and cooperate ... Profitability analysis: Unit: NT$ thousands Item 2015

94

(29) 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.

Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value

and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction

costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the

Company’s equity holders.

(30) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they

are approved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities.

(31) Revenue recognition

A. Sales of goods

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking

into account of business tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to

external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue arising from

the sales of goods is recognised when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer,

the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future

economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of

goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been

transferred to the customer, the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement

to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold,

and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective

evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.

B. Sales of services

Revenue from delivering services is recognised under the percentage-of-completion

method when the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. The stage of

completion of a service contract is measured by the percentage of the actual services

performed as of the financial reporting date to the total services to be performed. If the

outcome of a service contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue should be

recognised only to the extent that contract costs incurred are likely to be recoverable.

C. A sale agreement comprising of multiple components A sale agreement offered by the Group might comprise of multiple components, including sale of goods and subsequent repair services, etc. If a sale agreement comprises of multiple identifiable components, the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in respect of the sale agreement shall be allocated between those components based on the relative fair value of each component. The amount of proceeds allocated to each component is recognised as revenue in profit or loss following the revenue recognition criteria applied to each component. The fair value of each component is determined by its market value when it is sold separately.

95

(32) 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

Financial assets—impairment of equity investments

The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 to determine whether a financial asset—equity

investment is impaired. This determination requires significant judgement. In making this

judgement, the Group evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair

value of an equity investment is less than its cost and the financial health of and short-term

business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance,

changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow.

If the decline of the fair value of an individual equity investment below cost was considered

significant or prolonged, the Group would suffer a loss in its financial statements, being the

transfer of the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income

on the impaired available-for-sale financial assets to profit or loss or being the recognition of

the impairment loss on the impaired financial assets measured at cost in profit or loss. As of

December 31, 2015, the Group recognised loss of $756 in its financial statements.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

A. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill)

The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the

separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future

possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised

and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to

the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.

As of December 31, 2015, the Group has recognised impairment loss on the tangible and

intangible assets to $37,927.

B. Impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method

The Group assesses the impairment of an investment accounted for using equity method as

soon as there is any indication that it might have been impaired and its carrying amount

cannot be recoverable. The Group assesses the recoverable amounts of an investment

accounted for using equity method based on the present value of the Group’s share of

assumptions.

As of December 31, 2015, the Group has not recognised any impairment loss on its

investments accounted for using equity method.

C. Financial assets—fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market

The fair value of unlisted stocks held by the Group that are not traded in an active market

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 unlisted

stocks. Please refer to Note 12(3) for the financial instruments fair value information.

D. On September 22, 2015, the Group and GuangDon Fenghua Advanced Technology

Holding Co., Ltd. (“Fenghua”) have signed a tender offer agreement for Viking Tech

Corporation’s 20,311 thousand shares held by the Group and Fenghua is expecting to

acquire 35%~40% of Viking Tech Corporation’s outstanding ordinary shares at a public

tender offer price of $29.8 per share. Fenghua will file for declaration of the public tender

offer to the competent authority in charge of securities after receiving approvals from the

competent authority in charge of investments in Taiwan and related competent authorities

in Mainland China, and will officially initiate the public tender offer from the date of

declaration. If Fenghua does not receive necessary approvals, it will not initiate the public

tender offer.

When Fenghua or designated person proceeds with the public tender offer, the Group’s

shares in Viking Tech Corporation should be sold under conditions and selling price stated

in the tender offer agreement, along with limits allowed by regulations. Agreements

between the Group and Fenghua are as follows:

(a) If the amount of shareholders’ shares to be sold does not reach the expected acquiring

amount during the public tender offer period, the Group does not have obligation to

complete settlement in accordance with the agreement.

(b) If the amount of shareholders’ shares to be sold reaches the minimum acquiring amount

but not reach the expected acquiring amount, Fenghua will acquire all shares for the

amount to be sold.

(c) If the amount of shareholders’ shares to be sold exceeds the expected acquiring amount,

Fenghua will acquire from each shareholder for the amount proportionate to the

shareholder’s shareholding ratio (that is, the Group will not sell all its shares it wishes

to sell).

Fenghua has obtained approval from the Investment Commission of the Ministry of

Economic Affairs on December 29, 2015. However, the public tender offer will not be

initiated during the tender offer period until the offer is approved by authorities in charge

of securities. If Fenghua do not declare the public tender offer during the effective period

stated in the approval letter, the Group will not be able to sell all its shares in Viking Tech

Corporation to Fenghua.

mechanism under the Law. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are

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. The Company and CS Bright Corporation contribute

monthly an amount equal to 4.88% and 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and

wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the

Company and CS Bright Corporation would assess the balance in the aforementioned

labor pension reserve account. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension

calculated by the aforementioned method, to the labors expected to be qualified for

retirement next year, the Company and CS Bright Corporation will make contribution

to cover the deficit before the end of March of the next year.

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s and

CS Bright Corporation’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 earning is less than

aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after authorized

by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating

that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan asset

fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The constitution of fair value of

plan assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is given in the Annual Labor

Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

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

Future mortality rate was estimated based on the Taiwan Standard Ordinary

Experience Mortality Table (2012).

Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit

obligations is affected. The analysis was as follows:

The sensitivity analysis above is based on other conditions are unchanged but only

one assumption is changed. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at

once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculate net pension

liability in the balance sheet are the same.

(f) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of the Group for the year

ended December 31, 2015 amounts to $14,363.

(g) As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s and CS Bright Corporation’s weighted

average duration of that retirement plan is 9 and 15 years, respectively. The analysis

of timing of the future pension payment was as follows:

B. (a) Effective July 1, 2005, the Company and CS Bright Corporation established a funded

defined contribution pension plan (the “New Plan”) under the Labor Pension Act (the

“Act”), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan,

the Company and CS Bright Corporation contribute 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 Company’s Mainland China subsidiaries, Opto Tech (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., Opto

Plus Technology Co., Ltd. and Opto Tech Semiconductor (Ningbo) Co., Ltd, have

defined contribution plans. Monthly contributions to an independent fund

administered by the government in accordance with the pension regulations in the

People’s Republic of China (P.R.C.) are based on certain percentage of employees’

monthly salaries and wages. The above Mainland China subsidiaries’ contribution

percentage for both the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was 20%, 14% and

14%, respectively. Other than the monthly contributions, the Group has no further

obligations.

(c) The pension costs under defined contribution pension plans of the Group for the years

ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $39,847 and $38,100, respectively.

(15) Share-based payment

On November 29, 2007 and August 9, 2010, as a result of setting up rules for the employee

stock options for the years 2007 and 2010, the Company issued 10,000 and 15,000

thousands units of employee stock options on December 21, 2007 and August 26, 2010,

respectively. Each unit could buy one share, and the exercise price is based on the closing

price of the Company’s common stock quoted in the Taiwan Stock Exchange and Taipei

Exchange at the issued date. The exercise price under the stock-based employee

compensation plan is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the

grant date and is subject to adjustments due to changes in the number of common shares and

issuance of cash dividends. The vesting period of the Company’s employee stock option plan

is 7 years. The employees may exercise the stock options in installment within a period of 2

years after the stock options are granted. The Company recognised compensation costs

under the stock-based employee compensation plan for the years ended December 31, 2015

and 2014, amounting to $0 and $5,276, respectively.

12. OTHERS

(1) Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to

continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an

optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the

capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders or issue

new shares to reduce debt. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This

ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total

borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in

the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the gearing ratios was (29.64%) and (22.37%),

respectively.

(2) Financial instruments

A. Fair value information of financial instruments

The Group used the book value of financial instruments measured at cost (including notes

receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term loans, notes receivables,

accounts payable and other payables) as its reasonable fair value. The fair value of

long-term loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows. Since

long-term loans have floating interest rates, the carrying value is equivalent to the fair

value. For information of financial instruments measured at fair value, please refer to

Note 12(3).

B. Financial risk management policies

(1) The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including

foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of

financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s

financial position and financial performance.

(2) The plans for material treasury activities are reviewed by Board of Directors in

accordance with procedures required by relevant regulations or internal controls.

During the implementation of such plans, Corporate Treasury function must comply

with certain treasury procedures that provide guiding principles for overall financial

risk management and segregation of duties.

C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks

(1) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk

arising from various currency exposures, primarily with regards to the USD and

JPY. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions,

recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.

To manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial

transactions and recognised assets and liabilities, entities in the Group use

forward foreign exchange contracts, transacted with Group treasury. The expired

dates of these forward foreign exchange contracts are shorter than 6 months and

are not accounted for under hedge accounting. Foreign exchange risk arises when

future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities are denominated

in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

As the foreign operations are strategic investments, the Company does not hedge

for them.

The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the

Company’s and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: TWD; other

subsidiaries’ functional currency: CNY). The information on assets and liabilities

denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by

the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Note:If the consolidated entities’ functional currency is not TWD, the foreign currency

denominated assets and liabilities of the consolidated entities should be disclosed.

For example, when the functional currency of a subsidiary is CNY, its USD

foreign currency positions should also be disclosed.

Page 129: I. - OPTO · III.Corporate Governance Report ... enter the automotive lighting market and cooperate ... Profitability analysis: Unit: NT$ thousands Item 2015

125

Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held

by the Group and classified on the consolidated balance sheet either as

available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not

exposed to commodity price risk. The Group’s investments in equity securities

comprise domestic listed and unlisted stocks. The prices of equity securities

would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the

prices of these domestic funds, equity securities of listed company or unlisted

company had increased/decreased by 5%, 20% or 10%, respectively, with all

other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31,

2015 and 2014 would have increased/decreased by $25,957 and $19,190,

respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair

value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have

increased/decreased by $65,126 and $67,295 as a result of gains/losses on equity

securities classified as available-for-sale.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term loans. Loans issued at

floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially

offset by cash and cash equivalents held at floating rates. During the years ended

December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group’s loans at floating rate were

denominated in TWD and USD.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, if interest rates on loans had been 100 basis

point higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the

years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have been $10,282 and $12,723

lower/higher, respectively, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on

floating rate loans.

(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.

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, the utilisation of credit limits is

regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative

financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as

operating activities, including outstanding receivables.

ii. As the counterparties of deposits and other financial instruments are creditworthy

banks and financial institutions with good rating, there is no significant doubt

arising from default and credit risk.

The centralized credit risk of other accounts receivable is not relatively significant.

iv. Ageing analysis of financial assets that were overdue but not impaired: Please refer

to Note 6(4).

v. The individual analysis of financial assets that had been impaired is provided in the

statement for each type of financial assets in Note 6.

(c) Liquidity risk

i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and

aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the

Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational

needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing

facilities at all times.

ii. The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and

derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the

remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for

non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative

financial liabilities.

Derivative financial liabilities:

As of December 31, 2014, the periods of derivative financial liabilities are all less

than 1 year.

(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.

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.

B. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value

by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at

December 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

C. The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

(a) The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is,

Level 1) are composed of : listed shares using closing price and open-end fund using

net asset value at balance sheet date.

Note: Recorded as unrealised valuation gain or loss of available-for-sale financial assets.

(b) Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial

instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty

quotes.

(c) When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Group

adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used

in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally

observable in the market. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the

current forward exchange rate.

(d) The market approach is used by the Group to measure its assets held for disposal

(Price-to-Sales Ratio, P/S ratio), which is calculating the ratio of recent identical or

similar transaction price to sales as an observable input to project the fair value of the

disposal group.

(e) The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may

not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial

instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted

accordingly with additional inputs. 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.

(f) 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. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no transfer between Level 1

and Level 2.

E. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 financial instruments of equity securities

A. Interest rate Since OPTOTECH has good financial status, sound system and good as well as close long term cooperation with its banks, it has obtained better interest rates. At the same time, OPTOTECH has closely watched the trend of market interest rates and adjusted its position of its floating rate loans and fixed rate loans at any time when necessary. By taking risks into consideration, OPTOTECH will still stably handle its cash management.

B. Foreign exchange rates Given that OPTOTECH has the substantive demand for foreign currencies (such as U.S. dollars and Japanese yen, etc.), except for reducing required hedge position through natural hedge, lowering the impact of changes in currency rates on operating gain or loss, we will use spot swap and forward foreign exchange contracts and currency options to hedge the risk resulting from exchange rate volatility.

C. Inflation The quotations provided by OPTOTECH for its clients or suppliers are mostly flexibly adjusted according to the market status. Hence, OPTOTECH is not significantly affected by inflation. Nevertheless, it will devote its efforts to improve its product structure and production process while continuously executing the cost efficiency plan to counter the problem of inflation.

(2) Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions:

A. Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments: OPTOTECH has handled its financial affairs with stability, so it has a sound financial base. It does not give high leverage investment.

B. Lending or Endorsement Guarantees: (A) Our endorsement guarantee and capital loans to others are mainly made to meet business

requirements of its re-investment companies. Based on the laws and regulations stipulated by Securities and Futures Bureau, OPTOTECH has instituted “Procedures for Endorsement and Guarantee” and “Procedures for Lending Funds to Other Parties”, and evaluated and controlled risks through internal responsible units. At the same time, based on the “Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies” stipulated by Securities and Futures Bureau, the audit unit of OPTOTECH has also laid down relevant systems for management and risk evaluation and regular audits of execution status.

(B) OPTOTECH has currently only endorsed and guaranteed the affiliated enterprises under its control. The endorsement and guarantee items are mostly in the nature of financing, Since its affiliated enterprises have healthy finance and have been stably operating, it has never inflicted any loss from endorsement and guarantee.

C. Derivatives Transactions: (A) OPTOTECH has engaged in derivative product trading in accordance with its regulated “Procedures

for Acquistion or Disposal Assets”. (B) The main purpose for OPTOTECH to engage in derivative financial product transactions is to hedge

our operating and financial risk. OPTOTECH assets in US dollar is greater than liabilities, and the NT dollar was devalued such that there is gain on exchange.

(C) To meet our future requirements, we will engage in the transactions related to forward foreign exchange and currency swap contracts and options, and adjust its foreign asset and liability positions as needed, so as to hedge the risk resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Furthermore, to prevent its newly developed technology from being taken out a patent by its competitors resulting in loss of enormous business opportunity, we will take lead to aggressively apply for a patent to European and American countries, Japan and mainland China after a new technology being developed, so as to secure its R&D outcome, protect its business interests and reduce its overall operating risk.

(6) The impacts of changes to corporate image on the management of corporate crisis, and the corresponding measures: In response to the Company's image adjustment, four brand design projects, namely graphics for corporate and product promotion, Company website, brand image videos and corporate image videos, were completed and launched on Feb 1, 2015. Using the original OptoTech identity as the fundamental tone, the new designs incorporated rich colors and creative and interactive concepts to demonstrate that OptoTech is not only a professional manufacturer, but also a creator. Through interaction and communication, the Company continues to explore the rich and diverse possibilities of light induction with customers to develop technology application for intelligent living and achieve a people-oriented and quality aesthetics in daily living. Our change in enterprise image is to make fine adjustment based on the original vision of the company and brand value, but does not create any impact to the enterprise management philosophy. Also, OPTOTECH continues to promote brand internalization educational training in order to establish the recognition of company among entire staff based on the conveying of corporate vision and brand knowledge, such that all staff can fulfill their duties in their positions while implementing the brand values of our company in terms of “professionalism”, “trust”, “innovation”, and “flexibility”.
