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:
The Company is a professional manufacturer providing total PV semiconductor solutions, from LED epitaxial materials, die manufacturing, component packaging, to manufacturing LED application products. The needs of our clients have always been the Company’s priority. Under the Company’s core values, the Company provides products and customer service with qualities that not only meet
3
international industrial standards but also meet the requirements of professional use. Through our excellent R & D team and superb manufacturing technologies, the Company continues to develop more innovative design and high performance products. In addition to providing products that meet the needs of clients, we are unique in maintaining long-term trusted partnerships with customers through the interaction and cooperation of marketing department. Issues such as customer relations, product quality, and environmental protection are pursued through an honest attitude and innovative thinking. We aim to gradually fulfill our insistence and commitment, and to create value and achieve a better future with our customers.
(2) External competitive environment:
Looking ahead to 2015, demands for LED lighting will continue to grow, but due to the economies of scale created by the rapid increase in Chinese LED manufacturers and the price advantage entailed, prices competition in the LED lighting market will escalate, reducing overall gross profit. As the technology of Chinese manufacturers matures and no longer rely on foreign and Taiwanese investment, Chinese manufacturers have seen market share increases; yet the Chinese government’s expected move to cancel the LED industry subsidies is expected to help balancing supply and demand in the LED lighting market and further expand the LED application market. The Company should actively and continuously develop its distribution in order to improve market share rate and penetration. The Company should also seek lower cost and application-specific models, in order to maximize benefit.
(3) Impact of the legal environment:
To actively develop green industry, the Executive Yuan has included the LED lighting optoelectronic industry as one of the core industries in the approved "Green Energy Industry Elevation Plan". The plan aims to drive the industry capacity of LED lighting and LED automotive lights by utilizing Taiwan’s international competitive advantage in LED components and LED backlight modules. The government will continue to promote the plan to phase out mercury street lamps and subsidize local governments to completely replace mercury streetlights with LEDs. And through trade promotions and subsidizing manufacturers to participate in the international exhibitions, the government aims to help businesses to actively explore overseas markets with diverse marketing campaigns, in order to enhance Taiwan’s international visibility in the LED lighting market.
(4) Macroeconomic environment::
In summary, the LED lighting industry will continue to grow in 2015, thanks to the Chinese government’s abolishment of LED industry subsidies. Although the market could be seeing capacity expansion peak in the short-term, in the long-term the imbalance between supply and demand will gradually ease; and as LED components have become the alternative light source products, the government’s plans to develop green industry will implement the development of LED industry and stimulate domestic demand for LED lighting. The Company will continue to cooperate with the government strategy, cultivate foreign markets in the future, seek better profits amid stable operation, actively dedicate itself to deepening the industry, and implement corporate governance practices and corporate social responsibility, in order to increase the return on shareholders’ equity.
Finally, we would like to thank our colleagues, customers, suppliers and shareholders for your support and affirmation over the past year. They enable Optotech to pursue growth and innovation in stabilized operation and to achieve sustained profitability for our shareholders. Looking ahead, the Company will accommodate the domestic and international response to energy-saving policies and commit to the promotion of the LED energy-saving products. The Company will uphold sustainable development as our long-term operational goals, carefully laying out strategies and fulfilling corporate social responsibility to create a win-win situation for both us and stakeholders.

Optotech Corporation Limited Statement of Internal Control System
Date:March 23,2015
Based on its internal control system in 2014, 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 2014, 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 2014 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 23, 2015, with zero of the Seven attending directors expressing dissenting opinions, and the remainder all affirming the content of this Statement.

(2) Industry Overview: A. Current status and future development:
According to LEDinside’s latest "2015 global LED lighting market trends" report, the global lighting market will reach US$82.1 billion in 2015, of which LED lighting market will reach US$25.7 billion US, with a market penetration rate of 31%. Observing the 2015 global LED market in regional terms, Europe holds 23% of the market share, China holds 21% of market share. US see a market share of 19% while the market share for Japan is 9%. Other emerging markets, including the other Asian nations, the Middle East and India, and Latin America hold 28% in total. Looking ahead to 2015, thanks to steady growth of demand in the lighting market, demand for China's lighting market will continue to improve even more both domestically and internationally. However, product prices are subject to intensified competition due to the large number of suppliers. If businesses fail to continuously develop new distribution network, eventually some businesses will face the crisis of being forced out of the market. Major regional driving forces in the emerging markets include population size, governmental policies to promote and specific project promotion. The door to the emerging markets will be drastically opened in 2015.
B. Relationship with Up-, Middle- and Downstream Companies: The current LED supply chain is relatively excessively lengthy: from upstream raw materials supplying:
46
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. The packaging production capacity in the fourth quarter of 2013 is mainly to meet the demand gap, but in the first quarter of 2014, the release of double capacity almost dealt a catastrophic blow to the market. Packaging prices began a cycle of endless descent. By the first quarter of 2014, doubled demands were released en masse, leading to the tight supply for the entire first half of the wafer market. From the wafer side, the biggest problem currently seems to be the high exit costs. On the one hand a large part of wafer cost comes from investment in equipment, which boosts the sunk costs. On the other hand, since the Chinese government are highly involved in many projects, often allowing success and not failure, even for doomed projects clearly without long-term competitiveness. The relevant firms will not or dare not to recognize a failure and stop the losses by exiting. Yet only when such a competitive landscape forces competitors to give up on additional investment or even exit the industry can the entire wafer industry have a chance to restore normal competition.
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: The LEDinside’s latest "2015 global LED lighting market trends" research report shows that LED elements have successfully become the alternative light source products, benefitting from the expansion of the commercial lighting market. Lighting tubes become the most demanded products in the market, followed by light bulbs. In terms of lighting fixture market, ceiling lighting products continue to be the major product in the 2014-2015 market, serving mostly the home lighting market. The big players will get bigger in the bulb market in 2015. Lighting brand manufacturers will enhance the B2C image, i.e. to increase consumer brand image, of their bulb products and thus to enhance the B2B professional lighting markets, while small manufacturers without sales channels advantage or niche markets will become OEM or exit the market. No mater for traditional or emerging LED lighting manufacturers, the focus on the global lighting market trends in 2013-2015 will include the significant increase of LED lighting product penetration; and while brand manufacturers see revenue growth year after year, they still need to consider profit. Therefore, starting from 2014 many manufacturers are expected to become profit-oriented, in order to promote the professional lighting LED lighting products market and improve profit margins.

(B) Unfavorable factors (a). The risk of patent infringement
Currently there are four major high brightness LED makers in the world such as Nichia, Samsung LED, OSRAM, Philips, and LG Innotek, and together they occupy 75% of global market share. Almost all patents associated with LED technology are in the hands of these major players, and most of them are not open for licensing. Therefore Taiwanese companies have been facing the risk of patent infringement. Corresponding measures: Our strong R&D team has been actively developing products and manufacturing processes different from other companies and applying for all kinds of patent with the objectives of mutual licensing and collaboration. We will also expand our collaboration with Nichia Chemical in order to obtain patented epitaxial materials.
(b). With China’s enterprises on the rise, the price war is ignited. The scale of China’s local market is greater and greater, so more and more Chinese enterprises have jumped on the bandwagon. Our LED lighting market is still threatened by China’s seizure
52
of the market share with low-price competition. Corresponding measures: In order to initiate new markets and expand production capacity, we have established Suzhou plant and Ningbo plant, in an attempt to use the low development cost and product innovation capacity to get into the market. In so doing, we will be able to serve the nearby markets and OPTOTECH will turn out to be maturer and stronger.

Report of Independent Accountants
(14)PWCR14002923
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, 2014 and 2013, 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,
2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 and 2013, and have expressed an unqualified opinion on such
financial statements. PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan March 23, 2015 The accompanying consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. The standards, procedures and practices in the Republic of China governing the audit of such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and report of independent accountants are not intended for use by those who are not informed about the accounting principles or auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, and their applications in practice.
As the financial statements are the responsibility of the management, PricewaterhouseCoopers cannot accept any liability for the use of, or reliance on, the English translation or for any errors or misunderstandings that may derive from the translation.

The Group is assessing the potential impact of the new standards, interpretations and amendments above. The impact on the consolidated financial statements will be disclosed when the assessment is complete.
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” and the 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 International Financial
Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “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 (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies. In general, control is presumed to exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible have been considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
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
85
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. 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.

Note : Ho Chung Investment has been continuously acquiring the Company’s common
stock amounting to 1,107 thousand shares from 1998 to 2000. It holds about 0.2% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
C.Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements:None. D.Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates:None. E.Nature and extent of the restrictions on fund remittance from subsidiaries to the parent
company:None. F.Details of the parent’s stock that is held by the subsidiary:Please refer to Note 13(1) C 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.
87
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 as part of the fair value gain 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 a foreign associate operation is partially disposed of or sold, 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 influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
c)When a foreign subsidiary operation is partially disposed of or sold, 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.
88
(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.
(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 insignificant.
(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;
89
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;
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, it 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 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.
90
(13)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.
(14)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 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. 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 balance sheet date. 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 yearsMachinery 8~10 years
91
Utility facilities 6~25 yearsPollution prevention facilities 8~20 yearsTransportation equipment 3~5 yearsOffice equipment 3~7 yearsOther equipment 3~25 years
(15)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.
(16)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.
(17)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 decrease or no longer exist, the impairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognised in profit or loss.
(18)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.
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.
(19)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 insignificant.
(20)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.
(21)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.
(22)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.
92
(23)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.
(24)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.
(25)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 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. 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 obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
ii. Actuarial gains and losses arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
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 termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to a termination, when it has a detailed formal plan to terminate the employment of current employees and when it can no longer withdraw the plan. In the case of an offer made by the Group to encourage voluntary termination of employment, the termination benefits are recognised as expenses only when it is probable that the employees are expected to accept the offer and the number of the employees taking the offer can be reliably estimated. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to their present value.
D. Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. However, if the
93
accrued amounts for employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are different from the actual distributed amounts as resolved by the stockholders at their stockholders’ meeting subsequently, the differences should be recognised based on the accounting for changes in estimates. The Group calculates the number of shares of employees’ stock bonus based on the fair value per share at the previous day of the stockholders’ meeting held in the year following the financial reporting year, and after taking into account the effects of ex-rights and ex-dividends.
(26)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-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.
(27)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.
94
F.Part of unused investment tax credits which are arising from expenditures incurred on acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development are recognised as deferred tax assets that are only to the extent which is probable that future taxable profit will be available against the investment tax credits.
(28)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.
(29)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.
(30)Revenue recognition A. Sales of goods
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account of value-added 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 G roup 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.
(31)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. Judgements and estimates 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 transfer the accumulated fair value adjustment recognised in other comprehensive income on the available-for-sale financial assets to profit or loss and recognise the impairment loss on the financial assets measured at cost. As of December 31, 2014, the Group recognised loss of $16,776 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 industry 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, 2014, the Group recognised the impairment loss on the tangible and intangible assets amounting to $91,909.
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 expected future cash flows of the investee and analyzes the reasonableness of related assumptions. As of December 31, 2014, the Group has not recognised any impairment loss on its investments accounted for using equity method.
C.Realisability of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Assessment of the realisability of deferred tax assets involves critical accounting judgements and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales revenue growth rate and profit rate, tax exempt duration, available tax credits, tax planning, etc. Any variations in global economic environment, industry environment, and laws and regulations might cause material adjustments to deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2014, the Group recognised deferred tax assets amounting to $186,960.
D.Evaluation of inventories
96
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation. As of December 31, 2014, the carrying amount of inventories was $1,218,061.
E.Calculation of accrued pension obligations When calculating the present value of defined pension obligations, the Group must apply judgements and estimates to determine the actuarial assumptions on balance sheet date, including discount rates and expected rate of return on plan assets. Any changes in these assumptions could significantly impact the carrying amount of defined pension obligations. As of December 31, 2014, the carrying amount of accrued pension obligations was $328,726.
F.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. As of December 31, 2014, the carrying amount of unlisted stocks was $572,621.
6.DETAILS OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTS (1)Cash and cash equivalents

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, 2014 and 2013, the gearing ratios was (22.37%) and (16.53%), 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 payable, 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 a) 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.
b) Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units. During the implementation of such plans, the Group must provide guiding principle for overall financial risk management and segregation of duties.
c) Market risk Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD and JPY.
118
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: NTD; other subsidiaries’ functional currency: RMB). The information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

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, 2014 and 2013 would have increased/decreased by $19,190 and $9,161, 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 $67,295 and $62,634 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, 2014 and 2013, the Group’s loans at floating rate were denominated in NTD and USD.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 and 2013 would have been $12,723 and $14,342 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.
iii As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group’s 10 largest customers accounted for 62% and 60% of the balance of the Group’s accounts receivable, respectively. 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.
120
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.

(3)Fair value estimation A.The table below analyses financial instruments measured at fair value, by valuation
method. The different levels have been defined as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Financial liabilities:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Forward exchange contracts -$ 1,631$ -$ 1,631$
B.The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market
prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the closing price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise primarily equity instruments and debt instruments classified as financial assets/financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or available-for-sale financial assets.
C.The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
D.If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
E.Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include: a)Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments. b)The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward
exchange rates at the balance sheet date, with the resulting value discounted back to present value.
c)Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

Net foreign exchange gain or loss
24,520 0.39% 3.29%
Operating revenue 6,317,383Income from operations 746,399
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.
(3) 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.
134
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 exchange rate is rising such that there is loss 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.
