ASE TECHNOLOGY HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) is a corporation incorporated in Nanzih Technology
Industrial Park under the laws of Republic of China (“R.O.C.”) starting from April 30, 2018 (date of
incorporation). The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) offer a
comprehensive range of semiconductors packaging, testing, and electronic manufacturing services
(“EMS”).

The Company’s subsidiaries, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (symbol “2311”, “ASE”) and
Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. (symbol “2325”, “SPIL”), entered into and executed a joint share
exchange agreement to establish the Company and the Company acquired all issued and outstanding
ordinary shares of ASE and SPIL on April 30, 2018. Both of ASE’s and SPIL’s ordinary shares have been
delisted while the ordinary shares of the Company were listed starting from the same date under the symbol
“3711”. In addition, ASE’s ordinary shares that have been traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the
“NYSE”) under the symbol “ASX” in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) starting from
September 2000 were exchanged as the Company’s ADSs under the same symbol “ASX” starting from
April 30, 2018.

The ordinary shares of the Company’s subsidiary, Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
(“USISH”), have been listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange under the symbol “601231” since February
2012.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency, New Taiwan
dollar (NT$).

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the board of directors on February 21,
2023.

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

a. Initial application of the amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),
International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC)
(collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission
(the “FSC”)

The initial application of the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have material
impact on the Group’s accounting policies.

- 15 -
b. The IFRSs endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2023

New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations Effective Date


(New IFRSs) Announced by IASB

Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies” January 1, 2023 (Note 1)


Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates” January 1, 2023 (Note 2)
Amendments to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax related to Assets and January 1, 2023 (Note 3)
Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction”

Note 1: The amendments will be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2023.

Note 2: The amendments will be applicable to changes in accounting estimates and changes in
accounting policies that occur on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period
beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

Note 3: Except for deferred taxes that were recognized on January 1, 2022 for temporary differences
associated with leases and decommissioning obligations, the amendments were applied
prospectively to transactions that occur on or after January 1, 2022.

1) Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

The amendments specify that the Group should refer to the definition of material to determine its
material accounting policy information to be disclosed. Accounting policy information is material if
it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose
financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments also clarify
that:

 Accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions
is immaterial and need not be disclosed;

 The Group may consider the accounting policy information as material because of the nature of
the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial; and

 Not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or
conditions is itself material.

The amendments also illustrate that accounting policy information is likely to be considered as
material to the financial statements if that information relates to material transactions, other events
or conditions and:

(1) the Group changed its accounting policy during the reporting period and this change resulted in
a material change to the information in the financial statements;

(2) the Group chose the accounting policy from options permitted by the standards;

(3) the accounting policy was developed in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes
in Accounting Estimates and Errors” in the absence of an IFRS that specifically applies;

(4) the accounting policy relates to an area for which the Group is required to make significant
judgments or assumptions in applying an accounting policy, and the Group discloses those
judgments or assumptions; or

(5) the accounting is complex and users of the financial statements would otherwise not understand
those material transactions, other events or conditions.

- 16 -
2) Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”

The amendments define that accounting estimates are monetary amounts in financial statements that
are subject to measurement uncertainty. In applying accounting policies, the Group may be required
to measure items at monetary amounts that cannot be observed directly and must instead be
estimated. In such a case, the Group uses measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting
estimates to achieve the objective. The effects on an accounting estimate of a change in a
measurement technique or a change in an input are changes in accounting estimates unless they
result from the correction of prior period errors.

3) Amendments to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single
Transaction”

The amendments clarify that the initial recognition exemption under IAS 12 does not apply to
transactions in which equal taxable and deductible temporary differences arise on initial
recognition.

The Group shall recognize a deferred tax asset (to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized) and a deferred
tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with leases and
decommissioning obligations on January 1, 2022, and the Group shall recognize the cumulative
effect of initial application in retained earnings at that date. The Group shall apply the amendments
prospectively to transactions other than leases and decommissioning obligations that occur on or
after January 1, 2022. The Group shall restate its comparative information when it initially applies
the aforementioned amendments.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for
issue, the Group has assessed that the application of other standards and interpretations will not have a
material impact on the Group’s financial position and financial performance.

c. The IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC

Effective Date
New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations Announced by IASB (Note 1)

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets To be determined by IASB


between An Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”
Amendments to IFRS 16“Leases Liability in a Sale and leaseback” January 1, 2024 (Note 2)
Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or January 1, 2024
Non-current”
Amendments to IAS 1 “Non-current Liabilities with Covenants” January 1, 2024

Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

Note 2: A seller-lessee shall apply the Amendments to IFRS 16 retrospectively to sale and leaseback
transactions entered into after the date of initial application of IFRS 16.

1) Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current” (referred to as the


“2020 amendments”) and “Non-current Liabilities with Covenants” (referred to as the “2022
amendments”)

The 2020 amendments clarify that for a liability to be classified as non-current, the Group shall
assess whether it has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability
for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If such rights are in existence at the end of the

- 17 -
reporting period, the liability is classified as non-current regardless of whether the Group will
exercise that right.

The 2020 amendments also stipulate that, if the right to defer settlement is subject to compliance
with specified conditions, the Group must comply with those conditions at the end of the reporting
period even if the lender does not test compliance until a later date. The 2022 amendments further
clarify that only covenants with which an entity is required to comply on or before the reporting
date should affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. Although the covenants
to be complied with within twelve months after the reporting period do not affect the classification
of a liability, the Group shall disclose information that enables users of financial statements to
understand the risk of the Group that may have difficulty complying with the covenants and repay
its liabilities within twelve months after the reporting period

The 2020 amendments stipulate that, for the purpose of liability classification, the aforementioned
settlement refers to a transfer of cash, other economic resources or the Group’s own equity
instruments to the counterparty that results in the extinguishment of the liability. However, if the
terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by a transfer
of the Group’s own equity instruments, and if such option is recognized separately as equity in
accordance with IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, the aforementioned terms would not
affect the classification of the liability.

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

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Statement of compliance

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

b. Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for
financial instruments measured at fair value, contingent considerations assumed in business
combinations and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined
benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

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

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

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

3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or a liability.

- 18 -
c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include cash and cash equivalents and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or
expected to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date, unless the asset is to be used
for an exchange or to settle a liability, or otherwise remains restricted, at more than twelve months after
the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled
within twelve months after the balance sheet date (even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule
payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the balance sheet date and before the consolidated
financial statements are authorized for issue) and liabilities that do not have an unconditional right to
defer settlement for at least 12 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). Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

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

d. Basis of consolidation

1) Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

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

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective dates of
acquisitions up to the effective dates of disposals, as appropriate.

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

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon
consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the
Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests
having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing
control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the
interests of the Group and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their
relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the
non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is
recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

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

SUBSIDIARIES for related disclosure.

e. Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. Acquisition-related costs are
generally recognized in profit or loss as they are incurred.

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

Where the consideration the Group transfers in a business combination includes assets or liabilities
resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its
acquisition-date fair value and considered as part of the consideration transferred in a business
combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement
period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with the corresponding adjustments being made against
goodwill or gains on bargain purchases. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise
from additional information obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that
existed as of the acquisition date. The measurement period does not exceed 1 year from the acquisition
date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not
qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified.
Contingent consideration not classified as equity is remeasured at fair value at the end of subsequent
reporting period with any gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

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

- 25 -
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in
which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the
accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted retrospectively during the
measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information
obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have
affected the amounts recognized at that date.

Business combination involving entities under common control is not accounted for using the
acquisition method but is accounted for at the carrying amounts of the entities. The Group elected not to
restate comparative information of the prior period in the financial statements as the business
combination was an organization restructure under common control.

f. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual entity, transactions in currencies other than the
entity’s functional currency (i.e. foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing
at the dates of the transactions.

At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the
rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or
translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange
differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated
at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising
from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for
exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and
losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences
are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated
using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, and are not retranslated.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the
Group’s foreign operations (including subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in other countries that
use currencies which are different from the currency of the Company) are translated into the New
Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. Income and expense items
are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences
are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity attributed to the owners of the
Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate.

On the disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving the loss of
control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in a joint
arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a
financial asset, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation
attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

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

Goodwill and fair value adjustments recognized on identifiable assets and liabilities of acquired foreign
operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rates of
exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences are recognized in other

- 26 -
comprehensive income.

g. Inventories and inventories related to real estate business

Inventories, including raw materials, supplies, work in process, finished goods, and materials and
supplies in transit are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made
by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. Net
realizable value is the estimated selling prices of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and
estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Raw materials and supplies are recorded at moving average
cost while work in process and finished goods are recorded at standard cost.

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

h. Investments in associates and joint ventures

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

The Group applies the equity method to investments in an associate and joint venture.

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

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

When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of an associate and joint venture at a percentage
different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs
from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate and joint venture. The Group
records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or
credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates and joint ventures
accounted for using the equity method. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to its additional
subscription of the new shares of the associate and joint venture, the proportionate amount of the gains
or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint
venture is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee directly
disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus,
but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is
insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings..

- 27 -
When the Group’s share of losses of an associate and a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in
that associate and joint venture (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for
using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net
investment in the associate and joint venture), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further
losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred
legal obligations or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate and joint
venture.

The entire carrying amount of an investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single
asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is
not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment.
Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the
investment subsequently increases.

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be
an associate and a joint venture. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date, and the
fair value is regarded as the investment’s fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The
difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate and the joint venture attributable to
the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of
the associate and the joint venture. The Group accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other
comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture on the same basis as would be
required had that associate directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If an investment in an
associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an
investment in an associate, the Group continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure the
retained interest.

When a group entity transacts with its associate and joint venture, profits and losses resulting from the
transactions with the associate and joint venture are recognized in the Group’ consolidated financial
statements only to the extent that interests in the associate and the joint venture are not related to the
Group.

i. Property, plant and equipment

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

Properties in the course of construction are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost
includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated
and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready
for their intended use.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

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

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

j. Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rental and/or for capital appreciation. Investment
properties include right-of-use assets and properties under construction that meet the definition of
investment properties.

- 28 -
Freehold investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to
initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment loss.

Investment properties acquired through leases are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial
measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made on or before the commencement date,
plus initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, less any
lease incentives received. These investment properties are subsequently measured at cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss and adjusted for any remeasurement of the
lease liabilities.

Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.

Investment properties under construction are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss. Cost
includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Depreciation of these assets
commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

For a transfer of classification from investment properties to property, plant and equipment and to
right-of-use assets, the deemed cost of the property for subsequent accounting is its carrying amount at
the commencement of owner-occupation.

For a transfer of classification from property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets to investment
properties, the deemed cost of an item of property for subsequent accounting is its carrying amount at
the end of owner-occupation.

For a transfer of classification from inventories to investment properties, the deemed cost of an item of
property for subsequent accounting is its carrying amount at the inception of an operating lease.

On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.

k. Goodwill

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

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

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

- 29 -
l. Other intangible assets

1) Separate acquisition

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

2) Acquired through business combinations

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

3) Derecognition

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

m. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, investment properties and intangible
assets other than goodwill

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and
equipment, right-of-use asset, investment properties and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the
impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the
Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent
basis of allocation. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount,
with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

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

n. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instruments.

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

- 30 -
1) Financial assets

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

a) Measurement categories

Financial assets held by the Group are classified into the following categories: financial assets at
FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in debt instruments and equity
instruments at FVTOCI.

i. Financial asset at FVTPL

Financial asset is classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is mandatorily classified
or it is designated as at FVTPL. The Group’s financial assets mandatorily classified as at
FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI
and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any dividends or
interest earned on such financial assets are recognized in other income; any remeasurement
gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or losses.

Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 34.

ii. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized
cost:

i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial
assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash
equivalents, trade receivables at amortized cost, other receivables and other financial assets,
are measured at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount determined using the
effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in
profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying
amount of a financial asset, except for:

i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is


calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of
the financial asset; and

ii) Financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have
subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by
applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in
subsequent reporting periods.

- 31 -
A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more of the following events have occurred:

i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

ii) Breach of contract, such as a default;

iii) It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial
reorganization; or

iv) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial
difficulties.

Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the
date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash
and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and repurchase agreements
collateralized by bonds. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting
short-term cash commitments.

iii. Investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI

For the Group’s debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently
measured at FVTOCI:

i) the debt instrument is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both
the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of the financial assets; and

ii) the contractual terms of the debt instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value.


Changes in the carrying amounts of these debt instruments relating to changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and
impairment losses or reversals are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying
amount of these debt instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be
reclassified to profit or loss when the investment is disposed of.

iv. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Group make an irrevocable election to designate investments in


equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity
investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer
in a business combination.

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with
gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified
to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, they will be transferred to
retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when
the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly
represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

- 32 -
b) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on
financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables) and investments in debt
instruments that are measured at FVTOCI and contract assets.

The Group always recognizes lifetime Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) for trade receivables and
contract assets. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECL when
there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand,
the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial
recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount
equal to 12-month ECL.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a
default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will
result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In
contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from
default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting
date.

The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments
with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account,
except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss
allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying
amount of the financial asset.

c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows
from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the
asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized
in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument at FVTOCI, the
difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and
receivable and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive
income is recognized in profit or loss. However, on derecognition of an investment in an equity
instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the
consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or
loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to
retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

2) Equity instruments

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

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

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

- 33 -
3) Financial liabilities

a) Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at
fair value through profit or loss:

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when such financial liabilities are held for
trading. Financial liabilities held for trading are stated at fair value, and any gains or losses on
such financial liabilities are recognized in other gains or losses.

Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 34.

b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the
consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is
recognized in profit or loss.

4) Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign
exchange rate risks, including forward exchange contracts, swap contracts and target redemption
forward contracts.

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

Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts that is within the scope
of IFRS 9 are not separated; instead, the classification is determined in accordance with the entire
hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets
that is within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g. financial liabilities) are treated as separate derivatives when
they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those
of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

5) Convertible bonds issued by the subsidiaries

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

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

The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability
component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and
included in non-controlling interests, and is not subsequently remeasured. When the conversion
option remains unexercised at maturity, the balance recognized in non-controlling interests will be
transferred to capital surplus - the change of interest in subsidiaries.

- 34 -
Transaction costs that relate to the issuance of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability and
equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating
to the equity component are recognized directly in non-controlling interests. Transaction costs
relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component

o. Hedge accounting

The Group designates certain hedging instruments, which include derivatives, embedded derivatives
and non-derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk, as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges
or hedges of net investment in foreign operations.

1) Fair value hedges

Gains or losses on hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are
recognized in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged
asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair value of the hedging
instrument and the change in the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit
or loss in the line item relating to the hedged item.

The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the
qualifying criteria; for instance, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or
exercised.

2) Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of gains or losses on hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as
cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gains or losses relating to the
ineffective portion are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

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

The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship cease to meet the
qualifying criteria; for instance, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or
exercised. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been previously
recognized in other comprehensive income from the period when the hedge was effective remains
separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer
expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

3) Hedges of net investments in foreign operations

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges.
Any gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge are
recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of foreign currency
translation reserve. The gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognized
immediately in profit or loss.

The gains and losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge, which
were accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve, are reclassified to profit or loss on the
disposal or partial disposal of a foreign operation.

- 35 -
p. Revenue recognition

The Group identifies the contracts with customers, allocates transaction prices to performance
obligations and, when performance obligations are satisfied, recognizes revenues at fixed amounts as
agreed in the contracts with taking estimated volume discounts into consideration.

For contracts where the period between the date on which the Group transfers a promised good or
service to a customer and the date on which the customer pays for that good or service is one year or
less, the Group does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant
financing component.

The Group’s duration of contracts with customers is expected to be one year or less, and the
consideration from contracts with customers is included in transaction price and, therefore, can apply
the practical expedient that not to disclose the performance obligations including (i) the aggregate
amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are not fully satisfied or
have partially completed at the end of the reporting period, and (ii) the expected timing for recognition
of revenue.

The Group’s operating revenues include revenues from sale of goods and services as well as sale and
leasing of real estate properties.

When customers control goods while they are manufactured in progress, the Group measures the
progress on the basis of costs incurred relative to the total expected costs as there is a direct relationship
between the costs incurred and the progress of satisfying the performance obligations. Revenue and
contract assets are recognized during manufacture and contract assets are reclassified to trade
receivables when the manufacture is completed or when the goods are shipped upon customer’s request.

The Group recognizes revenues and trade receivables when the goods are shipped or when the goods
are delivered to the customer’s specific location because it is the time when the customer has full
discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility for
sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence.

Revenues from sale of real estate properties are recognized when customers purchase real estate
properties and complete the transfer procedures. Revenues from leasing real estate properties are
recognized during leasing periods on the straight-line basis.

q. Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

For a contract that contains a lease component and non-lease components, the Group elects to account
for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

1) The Group as lessor

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

When the Group subleases a right-of-use asset, the sublease is classified by reference to the
right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. However,
if the head lease is a short-term lease that the Group, as a lessee, has accounted for applying
recognition exemption, the sublease is classified as an operating lease.

Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income
on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining

- 36 -
operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as
expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

2) The Group as lessee

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement
date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a
recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis
over the lease terms.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease
liabilities adjusted for lease payments made on or before the commencement date, plus any initial
direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any
lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.
Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets. With respect
to the recognition and measurement of right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment
properties, refer to the aforementioned accounting policies for investment properties.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to
the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
However, if leases transfer ownership of the underlying assets to the Group by the end of the lease
terms or if the costs of right-of-use assets reflect that the Group will exercise a purchase option, the
Group depreciates the right-of-use assets from the commencement dates to the end of the useful
lives of the underlying assets.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise
fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments which depend on an index or
a rate, residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably
certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating a lease if the lease term
reflects such termination, less any lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted
using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be
readily determined, the Group uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method,
with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term, a
change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, a change in the
assessment of an option to purchase an underlying asset, or a change in future lease payments
resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Group
remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use assets. However,
if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the
remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a
separate lease, the Group accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by (a) decreasing the
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset of lease modifications that decreased the scope of the
lease, and recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss on the partial or full termination of the lease;
(b) making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset of all other lease modifications.
Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Group negotiates with the lessor for rent concessions as a direct consequence of the COVID-19
to change the lease payments originally due by June 30, 2022, that results in the revised
consideration for the lease substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease
immediately preceding the change. There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions.
The Group elects to apply the practical expedient to all of these rent concessions, and therefore,
does not assess whether the rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, the Group recognizes
the reduction in lease payment in profit or loss as a deduction of expenses of variable lease
payments, in the period in which the events or conditions that trigger the concession occurs, and

- 37 -
makes a corresponding adjustment to the lease liability.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the
periods in which they are incurred.

r. Borrowing costs

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

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

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

s. Government grants

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

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

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

The benefit of a government, loan received at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government
grant measured as the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on
prevailing market interest rates.

t. Employee benefits

1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted
amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.

2) Retirement benefits

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

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined
benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost
(including current service cost and past service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit
liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur.
Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding
interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.
Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained

- 38 -
earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

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

u. Share-based payment arrangements

The fair value at the grant date of the employee share options and restricted stocks for employees is
expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s best estimate of the
number of options or shares that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in
capital surplus - employee share options or non-controlling interests (employee share options issued by
subsidiaries) and other equity - unearned employee benefits or non-controlling interests (restricted
stocks for employees issued by subsidiaries). It is recognized as an expense in full at the grant date if
vesting immediately. The grant date of issued ordinary shares for cash which are reserved for
employees is the date on which the number of shares that the employees purchase is confirmed.

When restricted stocks for employees are issued, other equity - unearned employee benefits is
recognized on the grant date, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - restricted stocks for
employees.

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews its estimate of the number of employee share options and
restricted stocks for employees expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is
recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a
corresponding adjustment to the capital surplus - employee share options or non-controlling interests
(employee share options issued by subsidiaries) and other equity - unearned employee benefits or
non-controlling interests (restricted stocks for employees issued by subsidiaries).

v. Taxation

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

1) Current tax

Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according
to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.

According to the Income Tax Law of the R.O.C., an additional tax of unappropriated earnings is
provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

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

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the
computation of taxable profit. If a temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other
than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the
taxable profit nor the accounting profit, the resulting deferred tax asset or liability is not recognized.
In addition, a deferred tax liability is not recognized on taxable temporary differences arising from
the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax
assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused loss carryforwards
and unused tax credits for capital expenditure to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will

- 39 -
be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments
in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the
temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary difference associated with
such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be
sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they
are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the
period in which the liabilities are settled or assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred
tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which
the Group expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities.

3) Current and deferred tax for the year

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

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

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION


UNCERTAINTY

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

The Group considers the recent development of the COVID-19 in R.O.C. and its economic environment
implications when making its critical accounting estimates on cash flows, growth rates, discount rates,
profitabilities, etc. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions
to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect
only that year or in the year of the revisions and future years if the revisions affect both current and future
years.

Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating
units to which goodwill has been allocated. The calculation of the value in use requires management to
estimate the future cash flows expected to be generated from the cash-generating units and a suitable
discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than
expected, or change in facts and circumstances results in downward revision of future cash flows or upward
revision of discount rate, a material impairment loss may arise.

9. CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT FOR INVESTMENTS IN DEBT INSTRUMENTS

The Group’s investment in unsecured subordinate corporate bonds is rated the equivalent of investment
grade or higher and has low credit risk for impairment assessment.

There was no significant increase in credit risk of such debt instrument since initial recognition leading to
changes in interest rates and terms, and there was also no significant change in bond issuer’s operation
affecting the ability performing debt obligation. Therefore, no expected credit losses existed. The Group
reviews changes in bond yields and other public information periodically and makes an assessment whether
there has been a significant increase in lifetime Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) since initial recognition.

a. Trade receivables

1) At amortized cost

The Group’s average credit terms granted to the customers were 30 to 90 days. The Group evaluates
the risk and probability of credit loss of trade receivables by reference to the Group’s past
experiences, financial condition of each customer, impact of COVID-19, as well as competitive
advantage and future development of the industry in which the customer operates. The Group then
reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivable at each balance sheet date to
ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard,
management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference
to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position,
adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an
assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of economic conditions at each
balance sheet date. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience shows significantly different
loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision matrix for expected credit loss
allowance based on trade receivables due status is further distinguished according to the Group’s
different customer base.

The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in
severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that
have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover
the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the Group’s provision
matrix.

2) At FVTOCI

For the trade receivables due from certain customers, the Group decides whether or not to factor
these trade receivables to banks without recourse based on the Group’s demand of working capital.
These trade receivables are classified as at FVTOCI because they are held within a business model
whose objective is achieved by both the collection of contractual cash flows and the selling of
financial assets.

The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables at FVTOCI based on the Group’s

3) At FVTPL

Some of the Group’s subsidiaries sell all of their trade receivables to banks without recourse. The
sale will result in the derecognition of these trade receivables because the Group’s subsidiaries will
transfer substantially all risks and rewards to banks. These trade receivables are measured at FVTPL
because the objective of those subsidiaries’ business model is neither the collecting of contractual
cash flows nor the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets. As of
December 31, 2022, the trade receivables at FVTPL were all factored to banks without recourse.

Based on the future operation plans and the capacity evaluation, the Group assessed that a portion of plant,
equipment and other equipment in the packaging segment, testing segment, and EMS segment were not
qualified for the production needs and, therefore, recognized an impairment loss of NT$405,399 thousand
and NT$126,766 thousand, respectively, under the line item of other gains and losses for the years ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Note 25). Part of the recoverable amounts were determined by the fair value
less cost of disposal, of which the fair value was based on the recent quoted prices of assets with similar age
and obsolescence provided by vendors in secondary market or the disposal price, and both of which
represented Level 3 inputs because the secondary market was not active and the disposal price was
negotiated with counterparties. The recoverable amount of the other portion of the impaired plant and
equipment was determined using value in use and the Group expected to derive zero future cash flows from

these assets.

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

Buildings and improvements


Main plant buildings 10-55 years

extension options at the expiry of the lease periods. However, the government has the right to adjust the
lease payments on the basis of changes in announced land value prices and also has the right to
terminate the lease contract under certain circumstances. The Group does not have bargain purchase
options to acquire the leasehold land and buildings at the expiry of the lease periods. In addition, the
Group is prohibited from subleasing or transferring all or any portion of the underlying assets without
the lessor’s consent.

Construction in progress located on Hutai Road in Shanghai was completed in 2021 and immediately leased
out for shopping centers business. As a result, the Group reclassified those buildings and land use right
under the line item of “inventories related to real estate - construction in progress” to investment properties
with amount of NT$9,722,579 thousand.

Right-of-use assets included in investment properties were leasehold land located in Shanghai and were
subleased under operating leases.

The abovementioned investment properties were leased out for 1 to 20 years, with an option to extend for
an additional lease term. The lease contracts contain market review clauses in the event that the lessees
exercise their options to extend. The lessees do not have bargain purchase options to acquire the investment
properties at the expiry of the lease term.

In addition to fixed lease payments, some of the lease contracts also indicated that the lessees should make
variable payments determined at a specific percentage of the excess of respective lessee’s monthly revenues
over a specific amount.

The maturity analysis of lease payments receivable under operating leases of investment properties was as
follows:

The investment properties were depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives:

Main buildings 10-40 years


Right-of-use assets 10-50 years

Because the market conditions were severely affected by COVID-19 in 2022 and 2021, the Group agreed to
provide unconditional rent concessions for some lease contracts. The rent concessions were accounted for
as adjustments to related income over the remaining lease term. For the years ended December 31, 2022
and 2021, total amount from the rent concessions were NT$114,538 thousand and NT$3,865 thousand,
respectively.

The fair value of the investment properties was measured using the market approach and the income
approach based on level 3 inputs by independent professional appraisers. The significant unobservable
inputs were discount rates. The fair value of the investment properties was as follows:

a. Allocating goodwill to cash-generating units

The Group did not monitor goodwill for internal management purpose but for financial reporting
purpose and, therefore, the goodwill was allocated to the following cash-generating units for evaluation
of impairment: packaging segment, testing segment, EMS segment and other segment. The carrying
amounts of goodwill allocated to cash-generating units were as follows:

Others 148,101 148,101

$ 51,657,594 $ 51,416,608

b. Impairment assessment

At the end of each year, the Group performs evaluation of goodwill for impairment by reviewing the
recoverable amounts based on value in use which incorporates cash flow projections estimated by
management covering a five-year period. The cash flows beyond that five-year period are extrapolated
using a steady per annum growth rate. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using annual pre-tax discount rates which were 8.65%-14.64% and
10.27%-15.76% as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Based on the assessment, no
impairment loss was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The key assumption
used in calculating each segment’s value in use also included the growth rates for operating revenues,
which were based on the forecast for the Group and the industry as well as the Group’s historical
performance.

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

interests of the last installation).

When the USISH Bonds were offered, the subsidiaries, USIE and ASE (Shanghai) Inc., subscribed for
the USISH Bond at a total of RMB2,670,199 thousand. Since then, USIE and ASE (Shanghai) Inc.

USISH and the contractual rights entitled to USIE and ASE (Shanghai) Inc. were extinguished in
economic substance, the assets and liabilities related to the USISH Bonds subscribed for by USIE and
ASE (Shanghai) Inc. were eliminated upon the consolidation.

Each holder of the USISH Bonds has the right to convert the USISH Bonds into ordinary shares of
USISH at the conversion price at any time from the first trading day after 9 months of the offering date
to the maturity date (the “Conversion Period”). The initial conversion price was RMB20.25 per share at
offering date and the conversion price will be subject to the adjustment in the event of the conversion
provisions due to anti-dilution clause. As of December 31, 2022, the conversion price was RMB19.50
per share. As of December 31, 2022, the USISH Bonds with a par value totaled to RMB68 thousand
were converted into 3,000 ordinary shares of USISH. Within the outstanding period of the USISH
Bonds, if the closing price of USISH’s ordinary shares in Shanghai Stock Exchange is lower than 80%
of the current conversion price for at least 15 trading days out of any 30 consecutive trading days, the
board of directors of USISH has the right to propose a downward revision on conversion price and
submit it to USISH’s shareholders’ meeting for approval.

During the Conversion Period, USISH’s board of directors has the right to redeem all or part of the
unconverted bonds at the price of par value plus accrued interests in either of the following
circumstances: (1) if the closing price of USISH’s ordinary shares in Shanghai Stock Exchange is not
less than 130% (including 130%) of the current conversion price for at least 20 trading days out of any
30 consecutive trading days, or (2) the unconverted USISH Bonds falls below RMB30,000 thousand.

In the last two interest accrual years before the maturity, the holders of USISH Bonds have the right to
sell back all or part of USISH Bonds to USISH at the price of par value plus accrued interest in either
of the following circumstances: (1) if the closing price of USISH’s ordinary shares in Shanghai Stock
Exchange is lower than 70% of the current conversion price in any 30 consecutive trading days, or (2)
if USISH is deemed to change the use of the funds pursuant to the relevant regulations of the China
Securities Regulatory Commission or USISH is identified by the China Securities Regulatory
Commission as changing the use of funds before the maturity. In addition, after 3 years from the
offering date, holders of USISH Bonds have the right to sell back all or part of USISH Bonds to USISH
at 102% of the par value (including the interests accrued for the 3rd year).

- 62 -
At the offering date, USISH Bonds consisted of debt host contract (recognized under the line item of
bonds payable), conversion right (recognized under the line item of non-controlling interests since it is
an equity component of the bonds offered by the subsidiary), call option and put option (recognized
under the line item of financial liabilities at FVTPL).

23. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

1) The pension plan under the R.O.C. Labor Pension Act (“LPA”) for the Group’s R.O.C. resident
employees is a government-managed defined contribution plan. Based on the LPA, the Company
and its subsidiaries in R.O.C. makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension
accounts at 6% of their monthly salaries.

2) The subsidiaries of the Group located in countries other than R.O.C. also make contributions at
various ranges according to relevant local regulations.

b. Defined benefit plans

1) The Company and its subsidiaries in R.O.C. joined the defined benefit pension plan under the
R.O.C. Labor Standards Law operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the
basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the last six months before retirement.
The Company and its subsidiaries in R.O.C. make contributions based on a certain percentage of
their domestic employees’ monthly salaries to a pension fund administered by the pension fund
monitoring committee. Before the end of each year, the Company and its subsidiaries in R.O.C.
assess the balance in the pension fund. If the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay
retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the
Company and its subsidiaries in R.O.C. are required to fund the difference in one appropriation that
should be made by the end of March in the next year. Pension contributions are deposited in the
Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name and are managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry
of Labor (“the Bureau”); the Company and its subsidiaries in Taiwan have no right to influence the
investment policy and strategy.

2) Pension plans for certain subsidiaries of the Group stipulate that employees with service years
exceeding agreed years are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment based on their length of service
and the agreed salaries at the time of termination of employment.

6) Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law of the R.O.C., the Group in
R.O.C. are exposed to the following risks:

a) Investment risk

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

b) Interest risk

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

c) Salary risk

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

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

8) The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost and past
service cost were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Except the pension plans for
executive managers, the key assumptions used for the actuarial valuations were as follow:

December 31
2022 2021

Discount rates (%) 0.05-5.63 0.05-3.31


Expected rates of salary increase (%) 1.00-3.96 1.00-4.02

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the
respective assumptions occurring at each balance sheet date, while holding all other assumptions
constant.

December 31
2022 2021
NT$ NT$

Discount rate
0.5% higher $ (437,529) $ (548,265)
0.5% lower $ 472,595 $ 593,980

Expected rates of salary increase


0.5% higher $ 444,815 $ 538,689
0.5% lower $ (416,488) $ (503,700)

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

excluding those for executive managers of the Group was 6 to 13 years and 9 to 16 years,
respectively.

such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a
certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus and once a year).

2) Such capital surplus arises from the effects of changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries
resulting from equity transactions other than actual disposals or acquisitions, or from changes in
capital surplus of subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method.

3) Such capital surplus represents the excess of the carrying amount of related accounts over the par
value due to employee share options exercised and the Company has not completed registration
formalities.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

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

- 68 -
1) Replenishment of deficits;

2) 10.0% as legal reserve;

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

4) If annual net income remains, a proposal for the distribution of such amount together with a part or
all of the accumulated undistributed profits from previous years shall be prepared by the board of
directors and submit to the shareholders’ meeting for resolution. However, the distributable
dividends may be paid in cash after a resolution has been adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of
the board of directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors; and, in addition, a
report of such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting.

For the policies on the distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors, refer to
employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors in Note 25(g).

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

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

Items referred to under Rule No. 1090150022 issued by the FSC and in the directive titled “Questions
and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs” should be appropriated
to or reversed from a special reserve by the Company.

The appropriation of earnings for 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

The above 2021 appropriations of earnings for cash dividends had been resolved by the Company’s
board of directors in March 2022; the other proposed appropriations items for 2021 had been resolved
by the shareholders in the meeting held in June 2022. The proposed appropriations of earnings for 2020

d. Employee restricted share plans of subsidiaries

In November 2019, USISH adopted the first restricted share plan (“2019 restricted stocks”) and granted
6,156 thousand ordinary shares to its directors (excluding independent directors), supervisors and
employees. In April 2020, the board of directors further resolved to grant 6,403 thousand ordinary
shares instead, while other terms remain constant. The plan was of 3 phases starting from 2019 and each
phase lasts for 1 year with a valid period of 4.5 years, 3.5 years and 2.5 years, respectively. Upon
satisfaction of certain performance conditions in each phase, participants are entitled to subscribe a
certain percentage of the total USISH’s ordinary shares issued under the plan with a lock-up period of 1
year. The valid period may be early terminated or extended prior to one month of the expiration date
depending on the conditions of ordinary shares granted. In the event that USISH increases share capital
by capital surplus or by cash, or distributes share dividends or cash dividends, the exercise price is
accordingly adjusted.

In September 2020, USISH adopted the second restricted share plan (“2020 restricted stocks”) and
granted 425 thousand ordinary shares to its employees. The conditions of issued 2020 restricted stocks
are the same as 2019 restricted stocks plan, except that the restricted stocks are valid for 2 years and the
ordinary shares that USISH would issue to participants for free are with a lock-up period of 1.3 year.

In September 2021, USISH adopted the third restricted share plan (“2021 restricted stocks”) and
granted 281 thousand ordinary shares to its expatriate staff. The conditions of issued 2021 restricted
stocks are the same as 2020 restricted stocks plan.

Information about restricted stocks was as follows:

(Concluded)

The Group’s shareholdings in USISH decreased because the abovementioned share option plans and
restricted share plan were exercised in 2022 and 2021 The transaction was accounted for as an equity
transaction since the Group did not cease to have control over USISH and, as a result, capital surplus
increased by NT$125,049 thousand in 2022 and NT$$58,448 thousand in 2021.

e. Fair value information

The fair values at the grant date and the record date of capital reduction of AMPI’s 2022 share options
plan were measured by using the trinomial tree model. The fair values at the grant date of USISH’s
2021 restricted stocks plan were measured by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model
incorporating the effect of the lock-up period. The inputs to the models were as follows:

prices.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, employee benefits expense recognized on the
aforementioned employee share options plans and the restricted shares/stocks plans were NT$989,843

f. Impact of acquisitions on the results of the Group

The results of operations since the acquisition date were included in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income and were as follows:

Had the abovementioned business combinations been in effect at the beginning of each annual reporting
period and the investments originally accounted for using the equity method been remeasured to their
fair value as of January 1 of each respective annual reporting period, the Group’s operating revenues
and profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 would have been NT$570,363,380 thousand and
NT$66,041,297 thousand, respectively. This pro-forma information is for illustrative purposes only and
is not necessarily an indication of the operating revenue and results of operations of the Group that
actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of each annual
reporting period, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

In determining the pro-forma operating revenue and profit for the period had each subsidiary been
acquired at the beginning of each respective annual reporting period, the Group has calculated the
depreciation of property, plant and equipment and the amortization of intangible assets acquired on the
basis of the fair values at the initial accounting for the business combination rather than the carrying
amounts recognized in the respective pre-acquisition financial statements.

30. DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES

The board of directors of the Company resolved in December 2021 to dispose its 100% shareholdings in
GAPT Holding Limited (including its subsidiaries) and ASEKS (collectively, “GAPT Holding and
ASEKS”). The disposal was completed in December 2021 and the control over GAPT Holding and ASEKS

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

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements except those discussed in Note 20.

34. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

1) Fair value of financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed

Except bonds payable measured at amortized cost, the management considered that the carrying
amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value approximate their fair
values. The carrying amounts and fair value of bonds payable as of December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively, were as follows:

Carrying
Amount Fair Value
NT$ NT$

December 31, 2022 $ 47,850,324 $ 47,027,018


December 31, 2021 $ 52,267,337 $ 52,429,758

- 91 -
2) Fair value hierarchy

The aforementioned fair value hierarchy of bonds payable was Level 3 which was determined based
on discounted cash flow analysis with the applicable yield curve for the duration. The significant
unobservable inputs is discount rates that reflected the credit risk.

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

Financial Instruments Valuation Techniques and Inputs

Derivatives - swap contracts and Discounted cash flows - Future cash flows are estimated
forward exchange contracts based on observable forward exchange rates at balance
sheet dates and contract forward exchange rates,
discounted at rates that reflected the credit risk of various
counterparties.
Derivatives - redemption option Option pricing models - Use of present value techniques and
and put option of convertible reflect the time value and intrinsic value of redemption
bonds option and put option.
Target redemption forward Valuation based on the spot exchange rate on the valuation
contracts date, the exercise price, the volatility in exchange rate, the
contract period and the quoted risk free interest rate
during the contract period.

- 94 -
b) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 3 fair value
measurement

The fair value of unquoted ordinary shares, unquoted preferred shares, limited partnership and
private-placement funds were determined by using market approach and asset-based approach.
The significant unobservable inputs were the discount rates for lack of marketability of 10% to
20%. If the discount rates for lack of marketability to the valuation model increased by 1% to
reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions while all other variables held constant, the
fair value of the abovementioned investments would have decreased approximately by
NT$6,600 thousand and NT$19,300 thousand as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The fair values of the unsecured subordinate corporate bonds were determined using income
approach based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The significant unobservable input was the
discount rate that reflects the credit risk of the counterparty. If the discount rate increased by
0.1% while all other variables held constant, the fair value of the bonds would have decreased
approximately by NT$3,000 thousand and NT$4,000 thousand as of December 31, 2022 and
2021, respectively.

The fair value of accounts receivables measured at FVTOCI are determined based on the
present value of future cash flows that reflect the credit risk of counterparties. Since the discount
effect was not significant, the Group measured its fair value by using the nominal values.

The fair value of the contingent considerations were determined by using the Monte Carlo
Simulation method. If the estimated net profit margin fails to reach the performance specified in
the agreement, the Group could receive the contingent considerations according to the
agreement.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

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

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

1) Market risk

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

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

a) Foreign currency exchange rate risk

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

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and
liabilities (including those eliminated upon consolidation) as well as derivative instruments
which exposed the Group to foreign currency exchange rate risk at each balance sheet date are
presented in Note 39.

The Group was mainly subject to the impact from the exchange rate fluctuation in US$ and JPY
against NT$, RMB or EUR. 1% fluctuation is used when reporting foreign currency exchange
rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of
the reasonably possible change in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis
included financial assets and liabilities and inter-company receivables and payables within the
Group. The changes in profit before income tax due to a 1% change in US$ and JPY against
NT$, RMB and EUR would be NT$60,000 thousand and NT$38,000 thousand for the years
ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Hedging contracts and hedged items have
been taken into account while measuring the changes in profit before income tax. The
abovementioned sensitivity analysis mainly focused on the foreign currency monetary items at
each balance sheet date. As the year-end exposure did not reflect the exposure for the years
ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the abovementioned sensitivity analysis was
unrepresentative of those respective years.

Hedge accounting

The Group’s hedging strategy was to lift borrowings denominated in foreign currencies to avoid
exchange rate exposure from its investments in equity instruments denominated in foreign
currencies (recognized under the line item of financial assets at FVTPL) and net investment in
foreign subsidiary, USIFR, which has EUR as its functional currency. Those transactions were

- 96 -
designated as fair value hedges and a hedge of net investment in foreign operation, respectively.
Hedge adjustments were made to totally offset the foreign exchange gains or losses from those
equity instruments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign operations when they were
evaluated based on the exchange rates on each balance sheet date.

The source of hedge ineffectiveness in these hedging relationships arose from the material
difference between the notional amounts of borrowings denominated in foreign currencies and
the fair value of investments in equity instruments denominated in foreign currencies and net
investment in foreign operations. No other sources of ineffectiveness is expected to emerge
from these hedging relationships.

b) Interest rate risk

Except a portion of long-term borrowings and bonds payable at fixed interest rates, the Group
was exposed to interest rate risk because group entities borrowed funds at floating interest rates.
Changes in market interest rates led to variances in effective interest rates of borrowings from
which the future cash flow fluctuations arise. The Group utilized financing instruments with low
interest rates and favorable terms to maintain low financing cost, adequate banking facilities, as
well as to hedge interest rate risk.

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

December 31
2022 2021
NT$ NT$

Fair value interest rate risk


Financial assets $ 16,434,562 $ 5,474,105
Financial liabilities 91,152,265 76,206,394

Cash flow interest rate risk


Financial assets 41,964,775 69,654,969
Financial liabilities 121,370,564 165,557,225

For assets and liabilities with floating interest rates, a 100 basis point increase or decrease was
used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel. If interest rates
had been 100 basis points (1%) higher or lower and all other variables held constant, the
Group’s profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have
decreased or increased approximately by NT$794,000 thousand and NT$959,000 thousand,
respectively.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in financial assets at
FVTPL and financial assets at FVTOCI. If equity price was 1% higher or lower, profit before
income tax for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased or decreased
approximately by NT$50,000 thousand and NT$49,000 thousand, respectively, and other
comprehensive income before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
would have increased or decreased approximately by NT$5,000 thousand and NT$9,000
thousand, respectively.

- 98 -
2) Credit risk

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

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group’s five largest customers accounted for 30% and 33%
of trade receivables, respectively. The Group transacts with a large number of unrelated customers
and, thus, no concentration of credit risk was observed.

3) Liquidity risk

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

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

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

The amounts included above for floating interest rate instruments for non-derivative financial
liabilities were subject to change if changes in floating interest rates differ from those estimates of
interest rates determined at each balance sheet date.

The following table detailed the Group’s liquidity analysis for its derivative financial instruments.
The table was based on the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative
instruments settled on a net basis, and the undiscounted gross cash inflows and outflows on those
derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amounts payable or receivable are not fixed, the
amounts disclosed have been determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by
the yield curves at each balance sheet date.

38. OTHERS

On December 20, 2013, the Kaohsiung Environmental Protection Bureau (the “KEPB”) imposed an
administrative fine of NT$102,014 thousand (the “Original Fine”) upon ASE for violation of the Water
Pollution Control Act. After ASE sought administrative remedies against the Original Fine, the Original
Fine has been revoked by final judgment of Supreme Administrative Court on June 8, 2017, and KEPB is
ordered to refund the Original Fine to ASE. On December 27, 2019, KEPB has refunded NT$55,062
thousand to ASE. On February 10, 2020, KEPB re-imposed an administrative fine of NT$46,952 thousand
(the “New Fine”) upon ASE and offset the New Fine by the remaining amount which shall be refunded to
ASE. Therefore, no additional payment that ASE should make for the New Fine. After ASE filed an
administrative appeal against the New Fine, the Administrative Appeal Review Committee of Kaohsiung
City Government has revoked the New Fine on December 15, 2020 and remanded to KEPB for another
legitimate administrative action.
