3.4.10 Internal Control System
1. Statement of internal control system
Innolux Corporation
Statement of Internal Controls
Date: Feb 10, 2015
According to the examination on internal control systems done by the Company itself in 2014, we
hereby state as follows:
I.
The Company’s board of directors and management team understand their responsibilities of
developing, implementing and maintaining the Company’s internal control system, and such a
system has been established. The purpose of establishing the internal control system is to
reasonably assure the following objectives: (a) The effectiveness and efficiency of business
operation (including earnings, operation performance, and the safeguard of company assets);
(b) The reliability of the financial and related reports; and (c) The compliance of the relevant
laws/regulations and company policies;
II.
Due to the innate limitations in designing a faultless internal control system, this system can
only assure that the reasonableness of the above three objectives has been fairly achieved. In
addition, the effectiveness of the internal control system may change over time due to the
change of the business environment or situation. Since the Company’s internal control system
has included a self-examination capability, the Company will make immediate corrections
when errors are detected.
III. The evaluation of effectiveness of the internal control system design and implementation is
made in accordance with the “Guidelines for the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by
Public Companies” (the Guidelines). The Guidelines are made to examine the following five
factors during the management and control process: (1) control environment, (2) risk
assessment and response, (3) control activities, (4) information and communication, and (5)
supervision. Each factor also includes several items. Details of each factor can be found in
the Guidelines.
IV. The Company has examined the effectiveness of each respected area in the internal control
system based on the Guidelines.
V.
The examination results indicated that the Company’s internal control system (including
subsidiary governance) dated December 31, 2013 had effectively assured that the following
objectives had been reasonably achieved during the assessing period: (a) The degree of
effectiveness and efficiency of business operation; (b) The reliability of the financial and
related reports; (c) The compliance of the relevant laws/regulations and company policies
VI. This Statement is a significant part of the Company’s annual report and prospectus available to
the general public. If it contains false information or omits any material content, the Company
is in violation of Article 20, Article 32, Article 171, and Article 174 set forth in the Taiwan’s
Securities and Exchange Act.
VII. The Company hereby declares that this statement had been approved by the Board of Directors
on Feb 10, 2015. Among the 5 attending Directors, no one raised any objection to the contents
of this statement.

5.1.2 Industry Overview
1. Current situation and development of industry
Owing to excellent product properties and improving costs and image quality, TFT-LCD
has become the mainstream of various kinds of flat displays in recent years. The application
coverage of TFT-LCD is extensive, of which, large-sized products are being applied to the
manufacturing of LCD Televisions, Desktop Monitors and Notebook Computers while
small-to-medium-sized products are being applied to Flat Panel Computers, portable audio
players, and GPS for automobiles and mobile phones. Large-sized TFT-LCD products will
move towards the goals of energy-saving, better images, and narrower frames, thereby offering
an incentive to consumers to upgrade the existing product lines. As the applications of smart
72
phones become more and more popular and the touch-control technology is gradually mature,
small-to-medium sized products will become the fastest growing category with the most
diverse products in recent years.
The Company adopts the forward–backward integration manufacturing model in response
to the development of TFT-LCD Industry, and comprehensively arranges the early phrase
glass of every product generation and the later phrase of all-sized modules and integrates IDM
product lines, including 3.5 generation, 4.5 generation, 5 generation, 5.5 generation, 6
generation, 7.5 generation and 8.5 generation TFT-LCD plants, 2.5 generation, 4.5 generation,
and 5 generation touch-control sensor plants and production lines and later phrase module
plants for IDM products such as later phrase product lines, Light Guide Plate/Backlight
modules, PCB manufacture, assembly and pressing type paints. The production capacity and
scale of every production line are comprehensive and flexible, matching a-Si, p-Si, LTPS,
OLED processing and VA, AAS, TN Fringe field Switching and therefore all-sized products
can be produced effectively.

(1) Development trend of products
TFT-LCD has a low energy consumption rate, small size, low weight, and low
radiation features. Japan, Korea, and Taiwan have actively invested in the production
technology for many years, and the technology is getting mature. Now it is widely applied
to flat panel displays; especially for notebooks and desktop displays, most of them using
TFT-LCD. In the home appliance market, flat screen TVs are the mainstream. The future
73
developing trend of these products are listed below:
(i) Mobile Computers (Notebooks & Tablets)
Due to fair prices and computational efficiency increasing substantially, rapid growth
in sales of mobile computers has already become the biggest sales scale under the
personal computer category. As the market expands, manufacturers keep releasing
differentiation product lines aiming to stimulate different user demands. The design
direction focuses on mobility, word processing, and audio performance to meet the
needs of every type of customer for market segmentation. LCD panels also have
differences in size and resolution. The smallest size is the Tablet; the main market is
customers who focus more on personalization and entertainment. Emphasizing small
size, light and easily carried features, less emphasis on word typing, omitting a
physical keyboard and changing to a more intuitive touch input. In the past, the main
LCD screen was 7 to 10 inches. Now it has gradually increased in its size development
trend, such as the new iPad which is expected to have a 12.9-inch screen and more
focus on entertainment needs. Therefore everything is moving toward a panel with a
wide viewing angle.
Since 2014 high end tablets not only have improved computational efficiency and
completeness of software function, in the same time there has been more focus on the
customer’s visual sensibility about high screen resolution. The demand of high end
tablets has increased significantly due to FHD and more high resolution products
continuing to be released.
For many computer users, a keyboard is still the main input device, and notebooks
coming with a physical keyboard still have a considerable market. Facing the rise of
tablets, personal computer manufacturers have also started to import new design
concepts in notebooks, such as transformer books that can switch between two
different modes of tablet and notebook at any time, are gradually becoming the
mainstream design of 10-inch to 13-inch notebooks. Ultra-thin, wide viewing angle,
high colour, and touch function are also becoming important factors. As for those
customers with high document requirements and lower mobile requirements, the
bigger screen goes with FHD resolution to provide better webpage browsing and
visual entertainment experience. 13-inch to 16-inch products are mainstream
applications. As for those who emphasize video and audio effects or use the product to
replace desktop products, they go with bigger, low energy consumption, and wide
color gamut panels to present better color expression.
About the size of the panels, due to the development of next generation production
lines and wide screens generally supported by operating systems, 16:9 products are
already becoming the mainstream of the market. In addition, to fit the trend of thin and
light, panels using thinner glass and thinner organization design are essential factors
for products.
(ii) LCD Monitor
LCD monitors mainly go with desktops; two mainstream markets are office use and
personal video and audio entertainment use. For office use LCD monitors, generally
sales are for computers hosted by brand manufacturers and product structure is
relatively simple and of moderate cost to fit the budget of enterprise and government
organizations. For personal video and audio entertainment product, due to more focus
74
on video and audio purposes, recently the proportion of the product equipped with
wide viewing angle technology has gradually increased. We expecting the proportion
is going to increase continually in 2015. Meanwhile due to customers increasing
demand for high quality products, we are expecting 4K2K high resolution products to
be released on the market, having a wide viewing angle and narrow frames will
become the mainstream of the high end market gradually.
In addition, there is increasing customer demands for touch operation. When the
software platforms of new versions of Windows gradually spread and become mature,
we anticipate the product proportion of our touch function is going to gradually
increase.
About size, due to an increase in the manufacturing efficiency and efficiency of
product design structure, the price of TFT-LCD products is dropping and accelerating
market demand for a transfer to the bigger size. For office use types, a gradual transfer
from 18.5-inch and 19-inch to 20-inch and 21.5-inch; the average size is bigger for
personal video and audio entertainment products, 23.6-inch and 27-inch units will
gradually increase their proportion soon.
Except for standard LCD monitors, the market will release All-In-One (AIO) which is
an integrated design of the desktop host and monitor. Because of advantages in
functionality saving space , the product is winning customers. As the Windows 8
operating system penetration rate increases, it accompanies the All-in-One product
with touch function adding greater entertainment function. It also shows a new
appearance for the market of LCD monitors.
(iii) LCD TV
Since 2005, Taiwan, Japan and Korea, started to mass produce generation six (G6).
The production of TFT-LCD panels above 32-inches increased significantly and LCD
TVs have taken up living rooms rapidly. In recent years, LCD TVs fast popularization
due to each manufacturer developing G7 and G8 capacity, goes with the improvement
of each phase of production technology. It not only has become customers’ first choice
when buying a new TV, but also has stimulated the traditional TV refresh cycle.
Meanwhile, when a product becomes popular, mass production of large scale and
technical improvements provide effective cost reduction of bigger size panels. Each
manufacturer introduces large sizes such as 40-inches to 65-inches successively and
they are accepted by a great number of customers, even for 75-inch and 85-inch super
size products, the market is warming up. Innolux is the pioneer of providing
differentiated large size models (especially 50-inch and 58-inch), dedicated to
effectively improving the technology of each product to significantly increase the
panel’s added value, gain customers’ brand recognition, and market segmentation, and
increase the market share of large sizes.
In 2011, with 3D film and 3D TV channel development, the company released a
highly competitive panel with a 3D display function as the pioneer of the panel
industry to accelerate 3D applications into the family. Meanwhile, mobile display
devices gradually move toward high resolution to satisfy customers' demand for high
definition TV. We released 4K2K ultra high resolution products in succession since the
second half of 2012 and became the pioneer manufacturer of the first of mass
production and the highest market share. The company keeps developing 4K2K, Low
75
Power-consumption & Wide Color Gamut, and over 130% sRGB color range,
including 85-inch, 75-inch, 65-inch, 58-inch and 50-inch panels. The 65-inch wide
color Gamut (over 130% sRGB color range) and 4K2K LCD TV panel were granted
the 2014 Taiwan Flat Panel product technical award. The Innolux 4K2K large size
series panel solves dynamic image roughness and increases vividness. The quality of
the TV is delicate and the color has higher fidelity, smoother dynamic image, and is
mentally in the scene. Moreover, with the standard of 4K high resolution transport
protocol agreement completed in the end of 2013, we are expecting the 4K2K product
trend will extend into 2015 and future development. Each manufacturer will release
4K2K photographic equipment and go with 4K2K film releases and programs . 4K2K
will become the necessary specifications of large TVs.
On the design of panel appearance, the company provides ultra-narrow frames (6mm
and 7.5mm) and 50-inch ultra-thin design (thickness <10mm), integrate paint design
on appearance to make client rapid input and mass production. End customers not only
enjoy the real 4K image, also provide the real high quality of excellent vision and
sensual experience. Innolux provide client and customer comprehensive and high
competitive TV panel by innovation continually, and continue to lead the market trend
and become lead firm of the industry.
(iv) Medium and small size panel
Before 2008, no matter technology or shipment, panel manufacturer of Japan always
the leader of medium and small size panel industry; after 2009, Taiwan manufacturer
shipment started to exceed Japan and Korea, became the leader of medium and small
size panel industry instead. As the competition is more and more intense, panel
manufacturer of medium and small size started to produce by higher generation factory.
From 2011, even some panel manufacturer started to mass produce mobile phone
panel by G6 factory. However, industry competition of medium and small panel not
only at price competition, but also at market demands of higher resolution and higher
definition panel. It drives medium and small panel manufacturer to be more
enhancement in technical part. Since 2013, not only wide viewing angle technology is
sharp competitive edge for manufacturers, each manufacturer release high resolution
product continually. By a-si realize high cost-effective in over 5-inch screen of FHD
resolution and by LTPS provide WQHD resolution in over 5.5-inch screen. In view of
the 202015, keep improving resolution in 4-inch to 6-inch screen and compete in
lighter, thinner, narrow frames and lower energy consumption products. Manufacturers
have R&D input in abnormality cutting wearable device and flexible panel for next
generation technology, hoping besides the price competition can developing some
more niche products to widen difference with competitors by technology and keeping
sustainable operation in the industry.
(2) Market competition situation
In competition of the industry, in order of countries input in TFT-LCD, countries are
South Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan. Korea has large-scale investment in two big
corporate groups Samsung and LG. Due to domestic support on their own brand, they lead
in production volume and production value recent years. Taiwan’s manufacturers based on
complete supply chain integration and high production efficiency, the market share is hot
pursuit subsequently after Korea manufacturer. The main manufacturers are Innolux and
AU Optronics, etc. Japan manufacturers’ market share decrease gradually due to
production cost and decreased in new factory investment plan, transfer to high end mobile
display and ultra-big TV market. When we look at China, due to huge domestic demand, it
76
attracts government’s support and factory’s input. Recently BOE and ChinaStar step into
generation eight production, but due to the production line’s limitation, they cannot provide
whole size product.

integrated concerted performance (synergy). Through the business policies with
“leadership with know-how and quality, boosting of production efficiency and quality”, we
have enhanced the operating efficiency by leaps and bounds and gradually open the new
aspects amidst the cutthroat competition.
(2) Vertical and horizontal integration:
In an attempt to strengthen integration of our products, boost cost competitiveness,
demonstrate maximum possible benefit in supply chain management, other than production
of TFT-LCD panel modules, we dominate a significant ratio of design and manufacture of
parts & components, including LED panels, color filter, light guide plate, Backlight

5.
Advantage and disadvantage of long term development and reaction strategy
(1) Advantage:
A. Keep developing new product applications
With rapid development of wireless communication and cloud technologies, TV, PC,
pad and cellphone are gradually integrated their contents. The development of “one
cloud with multiple screens” is the major strategy of all companies. Because the service
of cloud information is surrounding people’s life, the flat-panel monitor, as the
intermediary of information, has become more important. The more delicate the
information content is, the demand of size, resolution, visual angel, and light
specification design of consumers rise. It also raises the unit price of TFT-LCD products,
and brings new applications and demand increases. The main stream products of all
major TV industry brands is ”smart TV”, which is also the sign of the rapid involvement
of cloud applications in TV area. 4K 2K ultra HD TV, which were put into market in the
second half of 2012 and provided higher level of joy for watching TV, has grown very
fast and is expected to become the major spec of middle or high end product from 2015.
Regarding to the LCD monitors, because the market is more matured, the major product
requirement is energy saving and HD quality to encourage the customers to upgrade the
current product lines. Regarding to notebooks, the new market drives come from the
new operating system and calculating platform. The company had started to provide
pads products and had good development since pads had grown very fast from 2011.
This is good for the production of middle size panels. Regarding to the medium and
small size panels, the common use of smart phones and gradually matured touch panel
technologies allows smart phones to become general consumer products. The delivery
of production is growing rapidly while 2014 might deliver more than 1.2 billion and
2015 1.38 to be expected. Because the panel size of smart phone increases from the size
of functional phones, panel’s unit price rises while the requirements of wide visual angle,
high resolution, and color presentation upgrades. Thus, cellphone panels’ revenue rises
rapidly, too.
B. Stable customer base
Our major customers are global consumer electronics companies, which have important
stands in TV, PC and mobile communication industry globally. Moreover, because the
trends on integration of consumer electronics and personal computers are obvious, the
market will still be dominated by the international big companies, and develops with the
direction of “the big ones get bigger”. Therefore, in the company’s perspective, we not
only can grow our revenue rapidly, the market share of us is also expected to keep
increasing with our major customer basis.
Under the synthesized effects of the three factors: rise of production line completion,
84
stronger customer base, keep developing new customers in newly developed market on
the current customer basis, the company’s revenue is expected to grow stably and
rapidly, and the global market share will grows gradually as well.
C. Globalized strategy
Innolux has been recognized as the best LCD panel supplier in all aspects, and had been
setting up global strategy aggressively. Now we have production base of
post-production LCD panel module and monitor in Shenzhen，Ningbo, Foshan, Nanjing
in China, and we also have delivery hubs in major cities in Asia, Europe, and America,
so that we can achieve “deliver just in time” object and strengthen the long term
cooperative relationship with customers.
D. Vertical integration in depth
Innolux has been working in TFT-LCD industry for a long time, and we have the
professional knowledge and managing capability in LCD panel, module, mechanism,
and optical components’ R&D, production, and selling. We are more cost-effective and
have better capability to service the customers timely than unitary TFT-LCD factory.
(2) Disadvantage and Reaction Strategy
A. The balance of supply and demand is hard to keep due to the intense competition in this
industry.
LCD panel industry’s economy cycle is more obvious than other industry and the
balance of supply and demand is more difficult to maintain because the high capital
intensity and long establishment time. Other competitors in Taiwan, Japan and Korea
are planning to build up next generation panel factories and the rising production
capability in China since 2012 also brought competition to the industry. Innolux has
3.5th generation, 4th generation, 4.5th generation, 5th generation, 6th generation, 7.5th
generation and 8.5th generation production lines, which can produce all sizes of LCD
panels and touch panels. The production capability is the 3rd largest panel manufacturer.
We try to produce the best combination of products and adjust the production allocation
according to market supply-demand condition, so that we can optimize the use our
production capacity.
B. The complicated technology and patent portfolio
The design and production of TFT-LCD requires highly professional technology. All
companies that in this industry are aggressively making their portfolio in technology
and patent applications. To avoid the violation of patent rights in the production process,
Innolux has been developing our own patents and technology since the beginning of this
company. We recruited domestic and international talents to join the research team, and
evaluate the feasibility of getting the usage rights of some key technology from foreign
companies at the same time. Regarding to intellectual poverty, we not only aggressively
conduct R&D and the patent applications, we also keep strong legal support team to
protect our intellectual poverty.
C. The global economy influences demand and supply
The global economy has become less stable due to the sub-prime mortgage crisis and
the European debt crisis. Although it is recovering gradually, it’s hard to say that the
global economy had recovered to the positive growth completely. The demand can be
influenced dramatically once regional or global economy fluctuate, and moreover,
influence the demands of LCD monitor products. We provide products that are
85
competitive for its cost and specifications by constantly optimizing our products and
technology. We also help our supply chain partners to develop business to diminish the
operation disadvantages of fluctuation of external demands.

Innolux's objective in disaster management is to progressively reduce the
Disabling Frequency Rate (FR) and the Disabling Severity Rate (SR) to zero. Through
the incident management system the company analyzes the statistics and causes of
incidents including traffic accidents and near miss. With reports and surveys generated,
the system would announce improvements in hazard prevention, as well as accident
reviews and improvements. It also ensures parallel deployment across plants to
prevent re-occurrence of incidents. Over 2014 the Disabling Frequency Rate (FR)
increased by 16% compared with 2013, while the Disabling Severity Rate (SR)
increased by 43% compared to 2013.
Business Continuity Management
Innolux has been providing ESH management and training to vendors. A structure
is in place for hazard identification, risk assessment and emergency response for
high-risk operations. Monthly meetings are conducted with contractors for two-way
communication and coordination. In 2014, the incident rate for vendors was 0 per
1000 persons.
ESH Training
'Employees are the most valuable asset. Training is an investment that never
depreciates.' ESH training is the basis for the promotion and practical implementation
of our ESH management. We make long-term investments in human and material
resources according to the hazard profile of each plant.
We plan, design and deliver training to the staff regarding ESH knowledge and skills,
such as handling chemicals, dangerous machinery and equipment, injury prevention,
machinery safety, fire safety management, and plant safety management. We also
monitor and control the training quality and effectiveness. In 2014, 1,609 ESH training

the labor side engage in two-way face-to-face communications, to exchange views in
an open atmosphere. We also have built a full range of communication channels,
which employees can use under their names or anonymously. The Employee
Care Hotline, the Employee Care Mailbox, and the opinion box help employees to find
quick solutions to their problems.
Workplace Free from Sexual Harassment

difficulties may affect an individual’s work and life. Therefore, Innolux takes a
systematic and embedded approach to offer appropriate professional resources, such as
employee communications, psychological counseling, and healthcare, in an effort to
reduce the impact that problems may have on our employees' work and lives.
We hope to enable our employees to work with a fit body and a healthy mind and
improve productivity.
Integrated Employee Care Channels
Innolux takes employee feedback seriously. We offer various feedback channels to
employees, to effectively prevent and solve employee issues. From 2013 onward, we
put more focus on integrating our employee care channels across Taiwan and China.

increase in cash in schedule under the “Agreement for Syndicated Loan & Reimbursement”. As a result,
on December 31, 2013, the balance of the syndicated loan was converted from long-term loan to
“long-term liabilities due within one year or within one business cycle”. The Company, nevertheless,
was aproved by the creditor financial institution that the capital increase through cash injection
previously scheduled as of December 31, 2013 be extended as of December 31, 2014.
Interest coverage folds: Due primarily to the facts that in 2014, the Company put forth maximum
possible efforts to control costs and upgrade the operating efficiency. As a result, the profits earned in
2014 significantly increased over 2013’s while the interest expenses significantly dropped.
Turnover rate of real estate, plant biuldings and equipment & facilities: In 2014, the net sales increased
over 2013’s. Meanwhile, service life of real estate, plant biuldings and equipment & facilities was due
in some cases. As a result, the net value in 2014 decreased from 2013’s.
Various ratios of profitability rose due primarily to the facts that in 2014, the profits earned by the
Company significantly increased over 2013’s.
Various ratios of cash flow rose due primarily to the facts that in 2014, the profits earned by the
Company significantly increased over 2013’s. As a result, the net cash inflow in operating activities
incrased.
Business operation leverage: In 2014, the Company put forth maximum possible efforts to control costs
and enhance operating efficiency. As a result, in 2014, the profits earned by the Company significantly
increased over 2013’s, leading to a drop of business operation leverage of 2014.
Financial leverage: Due primarily to the facts that in 2014, the Company put forth maximum possible
efforts to control cost and boost operating efficiency, the operating profit in 2014 significantly increased
over 2013’s. Besides, as the interest expenses significantly dropped, the financial leverage dropped in
2014.
Note 1: We adopted International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS). For period less than five(5) years, we worked
Table 4 below, adopted the Financial Reporting Standards of the Republic of China.
Note 3: Financial Ratio Formula
1. Financial Structure analysis
(1) Debt ratio= Total Liabilities / Total Assets
(2) Long-term funds to property, plant and equipment = (Total equity + Non-current liabilities ) / Property,
plant and equipment, net
2. Liquidity analysis
(1) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liability
(2) Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventories - Prepaid expenses) / Current liability
(3) Times interest earned = Profit Before Credit for Income Tax / Current interest expense
3. Operating performance analysis
(1) Average collection turnover(Including Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable from operation) =
Sales / Average trade receivables
(2) Days to collect accounts receivable = 365 / Average collection turnover
(3) Average inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventories
(4) Average payment turnover (Including Accounts Payable and Notes Payable from operation) =
operating costs / Average trade payables
(5) Average days to sell inventory = 365 / Average inventory turnover
(6) Property, plant and equipment turnover = Sales / Average property, plant and equipment, net
(7) Total assets turnover = Sales / Average total assets
4. Return on investment analysis
(1) Rate of return on assets = [Profit + Interest expense X (1 - Tax rate)] / Average assets
(2) Rate of return on equity = Profit / Average total Equity
(3) Profit to sales = Profit / Sales
(4) Earnings per share = (Equity attributable to owners of parent - Dividend-preferred stock ) / Weighted
average outstanding shares
5. Cash flow
(1) Cash flow ratio = Net cash provided by operating activities / Current liability
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = 5-year net cash provided by operating activities / 5-year (Capital expense +
Increase in inventories + Cash dividend)
(3) Cash flow reinvestment ratio = (Net cash provided by operating activities - Cash dividend) - (Property,
plant and equipment, net + Long-term investments + Other non-current assets + Operating Capital)
6. Leverage
(1) Operating Leverage= (Net sales – Variable cost) / Operating income
(2) Financial leverage = Operating income / (Operating income – Interest expenses)

Analysis of changes in financial ratios:
1. Due primarily to the facts that as of December 31, 2013, the Company did not conform with the
commitment in capital increase through cash injection within the time schedule as set forth under
“Agreement for Reimbursement under Syndicated Accord”, the banks in the syndicated loan were entitled
to take such acts including (but not limited to) that all principal, interest, expense and other sums payable
under the Agreement having been disbursed but not yet reimbursed should become due on the very day
ahead of expiry. The long-term loans were converted into “Long-term liabilities due within one year or
one business cycle”.
2. Mainly attributed to massive increase in profit.
3. Due primarily to the facts that in the wake of the change in exchange rate, the margin of exchange in
conversion in financial statements in the operating institutions in the long-term investment was
recognized.

Investment Policy in Last Year, Main Causes for Profits or Losses, Improvement Plans
and the Investment Plans for the Coming Year
In terms of outward investment, the Company focused on the up- and down-streams of
TFT-LCD industries to assure effective vertical itnegration as the final objectives. Given the
worsening fluctuation of panel industry and the mature development of the industrial chains,
the Company held a policy of being increasingly conservative. Other than the effortswe try to
refrain from investing toward the businesses irrelevant to the Company’s principal business,
the Company disposed non-core investment and investment insignificant in strategies.
In the consolidated financial report of the Company in 2014, the investment gain
recognized in equity method came to NT$65.814 million, thanks primarily to the upturn of the
overall economy where the business performance of the invested businesses turned better.
Some outward investments appeared at a loss. Overall, the performance with the Company’s
outward reinvestments have been well up to our expectation and have been continually
integrated with our business development.

Analysis of Risk Management
7.6.1 Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on
Corporate Finance, and Future Response Measures
1. Interest rate
The American economy rallied at a slow pace. The Directorate General of Budget,
Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) of Executive Yuan anticipated the economic growth
rate (yoy) by 2015 would hit 3.5%, 0.07% outgrew the annual rate of 2014 at 3.43%.
Given the factors of economic growth and commodity prices, the Central Bank would
maintain an easy interest rate policy in 2015. The M2 currency growth targets were set at
2.5%~6.5%. To prevent an increase in the Company’s loan costs as a result of an
adjustment of currency policy and rise in interest rate in the market, the Company would
undertake interest swap transactions in due time over the current loans in floating interest
rates so as to evade the risks of the change in cash flow possibly incurred by fluctuation
of interest rate.
2. Foreign exchange rates
a. To prevent a potential disadvantage to the foreign currencies in input, ouput,
investment and financing activities to the Company’s assets, liabilities values,
operating results due to fluctuation in exchange rates, the Company, in due time,
would undertake forward foreign exchange to evade potential risks in fluctuation in
exchange rates.
b. The Company adopted Natural Hedge in principle to evade exchange rate risks by
taking the revenues from sales in foreign currencies to pay off required foreign
currencies. We, therefore, only undertook the hedge transaction aiming at the positions
of net assets or liabilities in foreign currencies.
c. In the Company, over 90% of the operating revenues came from U. S. Dollars and
other foreign currencies. For capital expenditures and manufacturing costs, the
primary demand for foreign currencies came from U. S. Dollars and Japanese yen.
Any unfavorable significant change in exchange rate would lead to a passive impact
upon the financial profit and/or loss. In calculation with the Company’s output and
marketing as well as cost structure in 2014, where the New Taiwan Dollars is
appreciated by 1% over U. S. Dollars, the Company’s gross profit would drop
0.4%~0.55%.
3. Inflation
As officially promulgated by the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and
Statistics (DGBAS) of Executive Yuan, in 2014, the average consumer price index (CPI)
rose by 0.79% annually, not yet significantly affected by the tremendous oil price drop in
2014. The commodity prices might look stable in years ahead. The high-speed inflation
and deflation would interfere with the efficiency in the markets, discourage investment,
consumption, savings and such behaviors. To prevent potential impact on the negative
aspect from high speed inflation which would, in turn, dampen investment, consumption
and savings, the communications has tried by all means of lower various costs to enhance
competitive edge and would be closely watchful the change in the supply and demand in

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Innolux Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Innolux Corporation and its
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of
comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries and investments
accounted for under equity method for the year ended December 31, 2013. Those statements reflect
NT$5,130,451,000, constituting 1% of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2013, and total
operating revenues was NT$0 for the year then ended. Those financial statements and the information
disclosed in Note 13 were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been
furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other
independent accountants.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of
Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the
Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits and the reports of other independent accountants provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, the consolidated
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Innolux Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and their financial
performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Regulations Governing
the Preparations of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial
Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC
Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
137
Innolux Corporation and its subsidiaries’ current liabilities have exceeded its current assets by
NT$9,754,686,000 as of December 31, 2014. As set forth in Note 12(4), management has designed a
turnaround plan to improve the Company’s operating efficiency.
We have also audited the separate financial statements of Innolux Corporation as of and for the years
ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and have expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial
statements.

Based on the Group’s assessment, the adoption of the 2013 version of IFRS has no significant
impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except the following:
A.IAS 19, ‘Employee benefits’
Under the revised standard, net interest expense or income, calculated by applying the discount
rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability, replace the finance charge and expected return on
plan assets. Additional disclosures are also required.
B.IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’
The amendment requires entities to separate items presented in other comprehensive income
(OCI) classified by nature into two groups on the basis of whether they may be reclassified to
profit or loss subsequently when specific conditions are met. If the items are presented before tax
then the tax related to each of the two groups of OCI items (those that might be reclassified and
those that will not be reclassified) must be shown separately. Accordingly, the Group will adjust
its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.
146
C.IFRS 12, ‘Disclosure of interests in other entities’
The standard integrates the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements,
associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The Group will disclose additional information
about its interests in consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities accordingly.
D.IFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’
The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The standard sets out a framework for measuring fair value using the assumptions that market
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability; for non-financial assets, fair value is
determined based on the highest and best use of the asset. The standard requires disclosures about
fair value measurements. Based on the Group’s assessment, the adoption of the standard has no
significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and the Group will disclose additional
information about fair value measurements accordingly.
Based on the Group’s assessment, the adoption of the 2013 version of IFRSs has no significant
impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements
are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless
otherwise stated.
(4) Compliance statement
These consolidated financial statements are the consolidated financial statements prepared by the
Group in accordance with the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by
Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting
Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively
referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
(5) Basis of preparation
A.Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under
the historical cost convention:
(a)Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through
profit or loss.
(b)Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
(c)Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less
present value of defined benefit obligations.
B.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting
Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as
endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process
of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial
statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(6) Basis of consolidation
A.Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements
(a)All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are
148
all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies.
In general, control is presumed to exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through
subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are
de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
(b)Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between
companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been
adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(c)Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners
of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to
the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the
non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
(d)Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing
control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as
equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference
between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of
the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.
(e)When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained
in the former subsidiary at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying
amount is recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other
comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the
same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is,
when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognized in other
comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit
or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or
liabilities are disposed of.

(a)In July, 2014, the Company obtained the remaining 43% interest of its subsidiary, Bright
Information Holding Ltd., and the transaction was accounted as equity transaction.
(b)In June, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a resolution for the merger of
two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Foshan Innolux Optoelectronics Ltd. and Nanhai Chi Mei
Optoelectronics Ltd., with Foshan Innolux Optoelectronics Ltd. as the surviving company.
Effective date of this merger was January 1, 2014, and it was accounted for as a
reorganization.
(c)Chi Mei Optoelectronics (Singapore) Pte Ltd., Sonics Trading Ltd., and Innocom Technology
(Xiamen) Ltd. ceased operations and were all liquidated in the first quarter of 2014.
C.Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.
D.Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.
E.The restrictions on fund remittance from subsidiaries to the parent company: None.
(7) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional
152
currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in NTD, which is the Company’s
functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
A.Foreign currency transactions and balances
(a)Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange
rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are
recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except when deferred in other
comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
(b)Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are
re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences
arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
(c)Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value
through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet
date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive
income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their
translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However,
non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at
fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial
transactions.
(d)All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income
under “other gains and losses”.
B.Translation of foreign operations
(a)The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the
presentation currency as follows:
i.Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the exchange rate
prevailing at the dates of that balance sheet;
ii.Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average
exchange rates of that period;
iii.All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(b)When a foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences
that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or
loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, if the Group retains partial interest in the
former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate,
such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
(c)When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange
differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred
153
to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, if the Group retains partial
interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary,
such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
(8) Classification of current and non-current items
A.Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are
classified as non-current assets:
(a)Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be
sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
(b)Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
(c)Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d)Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to
be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet
date.
B.Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise
they are classified as non-current liabilities:
(a)Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
(b)Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
(c)Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d)Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than
twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the
counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its
classification.
(9) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known
amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits and bonds
sold under repurchase agreements that meet the above criteria and held for the purpose of meeting
short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(10) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A.Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading or
designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets are
classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of sale in the
short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are
designated as hedges. Financial assets that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at
fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:
(a)Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
(b)They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
(c)They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with
154
a documented risk management or investment strategy.
B.On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are
recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
C.Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related
transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently
remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are
recognized in profit or loss.
(11) Available-for-sale financial assets
A.Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are designated in this category. On a
regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognized and
derecognized using trade date accounting.
B.Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs.
These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in
the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(12) Loans and receivables
Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the
entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business.
Accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term
accounts receivable which are non-interest bearing are subsequently measured at initial invoice
amount as the effect of discounting is insignificant.
(13) Impairment of financial assets
A.The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that an
individual financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on
the estimated future cash flows of an individual financial asset or group of financial assets that
can be reliably estimated.
B.The objective evidence that the Group uses to determine whether there is an impairment loss is
as follows:
(a)Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
(b)A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
(c)Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the
technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and
indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered; or
(d)A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument
below its cost.
C.When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an
155
impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the
category of financial assets:
(a)Financial assets measured at amortized cost
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial
asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent
period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying
amount of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of
reversal had the impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is
recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an
impairment allowance account.
(b)Available-for-sale financial assets
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s
acquisition cost (less any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less
any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss, and is
reclassified from “other comprehensive income” to “profit or loss”. If, in a subsequent period,
the fair value of an investment in a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, then such
impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss of an investment in an
equity instrument recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss.
Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset
through the use of an impairment allowance account.
(14) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the
weighted-average cost method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw
materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on
normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in
applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling
price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable
variable selling expenses.
(15) Investments accounted for under the equity method / associates
A.Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In
general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or
indirectly 20 per cent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are
accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.
B.The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or
156
loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized
in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or
exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has
incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
C.When changes in an associate’s equity are not recognized in profit or loss or other
comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership
percentage of the associate, the Group recognizes all the change in equity in “capital surplus” in
proportion to its ownership.
D.Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the
extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the
transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of
associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted
by the Group.
E.In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new
shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the
associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then “capital surplus” and
“investments accounted for under the equity method” shall be adjusted for the increase or
decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s
ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts
previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified
to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or
liabilities were disposed of.
F.Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment
retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying
amount is recognized in profit or loss.
G.When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this
associate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the
associate are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant
assets or liabilities were disposed of.
H.When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this
associate, the amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the associate are
reclassified to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, then the
amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the associate are reclassified to
profit or loss proportionately.
(16) Property, plant and equipment
A.Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the
construction period are capitalized.
B.Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset,
157
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of
the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss
when incurred.
C.Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are
depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives.
If each component of property, plant and equipment is significant, it is depreciated separately.
D.The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful
lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future
economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted
for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors”, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant
and equipment are as follows:
Buildings
3~50 years
Machinery and equipment
2~9 years
Others
2~6 years
(17) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost
model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its
estimated useful life of 25~50 years.
(18) Intangible assets
A.Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
B.Intangible assets, mainly patents, royalties and other intangible assets, are amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 2～10 years.
(19) Impairment of non-financial assets
A.The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where
there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by
which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the
circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer
exist, the impairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognized in
profit or loss. Such recovery of impairment loss shall not result to the asset’s carrying amount
greater than its amortized cost where no impairment loss was recognized.
B.The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and
intangible assets that have not yet been available for use shall be evaluated periodically. An
impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognized in profit or loss shall
158
not be reversed in the following years.
C.For impairment testing purpose, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units. This allocation is
based on operating segments. Goodwill is allocated to a cash generating unit or a group of cash
generating units that expects to benefit from business combination that will produce goodwill.
(20) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A.Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading.
Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for
the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial
liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
B.Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value.
Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are
subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these
financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.
(21) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
A.Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into
and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Any changes in the fair value are recognized
in profit or loss.
B.The Group designates certain derivatives as either:
(a)Hedges of the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value
hedge).
(b)Hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable
forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).
C.The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging
instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for
undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at
hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging
transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged
items.
D.The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when
the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or
liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading
derivatives are classified as current assets or liabilities.
E.Fair value hedge
(a)Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as fair value hedges
are recorded in profit or loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset
or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The Group only applies fair value hedge
accounting for hedging foreign currency on long-term borrowings. The gain or loss relating
to the effective portion of currency swaps hedging long-term borrowings denominated in
159
foreign currency is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within “finance
costs”. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in the statement of
comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”. Changes in the fair value of the
hedge long-term borrowings denominated in foreign currency attributable to interest rate risk
are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within “finance costs”.
(b)If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying
amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortized to profit
or loss over the period to maturity.
F.Cash flow hedge
(a)The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and
qualified as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss
relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of
comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”.
(b)Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified into profit or loss in
the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the
effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income within “finance costs”.
(c)When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold, cancelled or executed, or when a hedge no
longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in other
comprehensive income at that time remains in other comprehensive income. When a forecast
transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was
reported in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss in the periods when
the hedged forecast cash flow affects profit or loss.
(22) Employee benefits
A.Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected
to be paid and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render
service.
B.Pensions
(a)Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses on an
accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund
or a reduction in the future payments.
(b)Defined benefit plans
i.The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is
the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair
value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized past service costs. The
defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the
160
projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates
of government bond (at the balance sheet date).
ii.Actuarial gains and losses arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other
comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
iii.Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss if vested immediately; if
not, the past service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
C.Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as expenses and
liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and
those amounts can be reliably estimated. However, if the accrued amounts for employees’ bonus
and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are different from the actual distributed amounts as
resolved by the stockholders at their stockholders’ meeting subsequently, the differences should
be recognized based on the accounting for changes in estimates. The Group calculates the
number of shares of employees’ stock bonus based on the fair value per share at the previous
day of the stockholders’ meeting held in the year following the financial reporting year, and
after taking into account the effects of ex-rights and ex-dividends.
(23) Employee share-based payment
A.For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are
measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized
as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The
fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions
and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the
service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity
instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance
sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of
equity instruments that eventually vest.
B.Restricted stocks to employees:
(a)Restricted stocks issued to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments
granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period.
(b)For restricted stocks where employees have to pay to acquire those stocks, if employees
resign during the vesting period, they must return the stocks to the Group and the Group must
refund their payments on the stocks. The Group recognizes the payments from the employees
who are expected to resign during the vesting period as liabilities at the grant date, and
recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to be eventually vested with
the stocks in “capital surplus – others”.
C.The grant date for the shares reserved for employee preemption in cash capital increase is the
date on which the Company informs employees of the grant and both the Company and
employees agree to the number of shares granted and the price for subscription.
161
(24) Income tax
A.The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or
loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or
items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive
income or equity.
B.The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its
subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions
taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It
establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax
authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is
recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
C.Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in
the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws)
that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to
apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability
is settled.
D.Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each
balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
E.A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from
acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity
investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against
which the unused tax credits can be utilized.
(25) Revenue recognition
The Group manufactures and sells TFT-LCD panels. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable taking into account value-added tax, returns, rebates and
discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s
activities.
(26) Business combinations
A.The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The Group
chooses to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the non-controlling interest’s
proportionate share of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets on an acquisition-by-acquisition
basis.
B.If the total of the fair values of the consideration of acquisition and any non-controlling interest
in the acquiree as well as the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the
acquiree is higher than the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired,
162

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION
UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical
judgments in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates
concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are
continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. The information is
addressed below:
(28) Critical judgments in applying the Group’s accounting policies
Financial assets－impairment of equity investments
The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 to determine whether a financial asset-equity investment
is impaired. This determination requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Group
evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an equity
investment is less than its cost and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for the
investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and
operational and financing cash flow.
If the decline of the fair value of an individual equity investment below cost was considered
significant or prolonged, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in other comprehensive
income on the impaired “available-for-sale financial assets” is transferred to profit or loss.
(29) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions based on the expectation of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period. The resulting
accounting estimates might be different from the related actual results. The estimates and
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
A.Impairment assessment of goodwill
The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Group’s subjective judgment, including
identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related
cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units.
Please refer to Note 6(10) for the information on goodwill impairment.
B.Reliability of deferred income tax assets
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
163
Assessment of the reliability of deferred income tax assets involves critical accounting judgments
and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales, revenue
growth rate, profit rate, tax holiday, available tax credits, and tax planning, etc. Any change in
global economic environment, industrial environment, and laws and regulations might cause
material adjustments to deferred income tax assets.
C.Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine
the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgments and estimates. Due
to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory
consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet
date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value.
D.Financial assets - fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market
The fair value of unlisted stocks held by the Group that are not traded in an active market is
determined considering those companies’ recent fund raising activities and technical development
status, fair value assessment of other companies of the same type, market conditions and other
economic indicators existing on balance sheet date. Any changes in these judgments and
estimates will impact the fair value measurement of these unlisted stocks. Please refer to Note
12(3) for the financial instruments fair value information.

C.The Company performed impairment analysis for recoverable amount of the goodwill at each
reporting date and used the value in use as the basis for calculation of the recoverable amount.
The value in use was calculated based on the estimated present value of future cash flows for
five years, which was discounted at the discount rate of 4.89% and 4.22% for the years ended
December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, to reflect the specific risks of the related cash
generating units. The future cash flows were estimated based on the future revenue, gross profit,
and other operating costs each year. Based on the evaluation above, the Company did not
recognize impairment loss on goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

A.Please refer to Note 8 for the information on assets pledged as collateral for long-term
borrowings.
B.The syndicated loan agreements specified that the Company shall meet covenants on current
ratio, liability ratio, interest coverage, and tangible net equity, which were based on the
Company’s annual consolidated financial statements audited by independent auditors. The
Company’s financial ratios on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2014 and 2013 are in accordance with the covenants on the syndicated loan
agreement.
C.In December 2011, the Company applied for the assistance of Ministry of Economic Affairs to
negotiate the debt with the syndicated banks, in accordance with the “Procedures for the
Assistance of Ministry of Economic Affairs in the Negotiation of Enterprise and Financial
Institution relating to the Debt Issue”. On April 5, 2012, the Company signed an “Agreed-upon
Repayment Agreement” with all financial institution creditors based on the framework of the
resolutions during the creditors and debtors negotiation meeting. The major terms of the
agreement were as follows:
(a)Medium and long-term syndicated loans
The medium and long-term syndicated loans due between 2012 to 2014 will be extended for
2-3 years. Principal is repayable every year based on a certain percentage; interest is charged
at the original interest rate or at the original interest rate plus premium rate.
(b)Short and medium-term non-syndicated loans
172
The outstanding balances or the original amounts of each loan are renewed based on the
original terms and all extended to December 31, 2013. Before maturity, the Company may
apply for the extension of such loans for another year for each application, with a maximum
of two applications with each bank. Interest is charged at the original interest rate plus
premium rate and extension fee is charged at a certain percentage.
(c)Credit lines of derivative financial instruments
At least two-thirds of the original credit lines of derivative financial instruments are renewed
based on the original terms and all extended to December 31, 2013. Before maturity, the
Company may apply for the extension of such credit lines for another one year for each
application, with a maximum of two applications with each bank. Extension fee is charged at
a certain percentage.
(d)Other matters
a) All financial institution creditors agreed to waive the 2011 and 2012 covenants, the interest
penalty, and default penalty arising from the violation of covenants.
b) All financial institution creditors agreed to waive the agreement that the Company shall
early repay whole or part of the loans as prescribed by the original agreements before the
extension agreements were approved by all financial institution creditors.
(e)The Company’s significant commitments
The Company is committed to increase capital in certain amounts of cash within 3 years
starting from 2012, to focus on its main business activities, and not to make investments out
of its main business lines, except for equipment improvements or equipment additions for its
main business. Further, the Company shall not apply for bankruptcy or reorganisation during
the period of negotiation for the extension of the due date on the Company’s debt.
D.Because the Company failed to meet the requirements specified in the “syndicated repayment
agreement” signed for the cash capital increase for the year ended December 31, 2013, the
syndicated banks may take measures, in accordance with the agreement, including, but not
limited to the outstanding principal, interest, expenses and other payables be due immediately.
Therefore, the Company reclassified syndicated loans and other long-term borrowings as of
December 31, 2013 amounting to $169,097,708 (including administrative expenses charged by
syndicated banks) to “long-term liabilities - current portion”. However, the deadline was
extended to the end of 2014 through the concession of financial institution creditors on January
27, 2014.
E.Though the Company failed to meet the requirement specified in the “syndicated repayment
deadline was extended to the end of 2015 through the concession of financial institution
creditors.
F.In order to repay the unpaid balance of the medium and long-term syndicated loans from the
above “Agreed-upon Repayment Agreement”, on February 10, 2015, the Board of Directors has
173
approved the proposal of syndicated credit line of NT$68.5 billion with financial institutions.

Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in

B.The Company’s Board of Directors resolved to increase capital through cash on December 17,
2013 by issuing common shares of no more than 2 billion shares, in exchange for cash
domestically or by using cash from capital increase to issue common shares in exchange for the
issuance of foreign depository receipts. On June 19, 2014, the shareholders approved the capital
increase. On June 20, 2014, the Board of Directors approved the domestic capital increase of
10,625,000 shares. The issue price was determined to be $12.5 in July 2014, and the capital
increase was effective on August 12, 2014.
C. The Board of Directors of the Company resolved to increase capital for cash by issuing global
depositary receipts (the “GDR”). The amount of $9,360,000 is tentatively scheduled for release,
(approximately equivalent to US$312,625 thousand). As the Company has received bank’s
approval for extending capital increase, based on shareholders’ interest, the issuance of the GDR
was cancelled in accordance with the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)’s approval on
January 30, 2015.
D.As authorized by the shareholders during their meeting in June 2012, the Board of Directors of
the Company resolved to increase capital for cash by issuing the GDR on July 18, 2012, and had
been completed in January 2013. The Company issued 1,125,000 thousand shares of common
stock for cash, including 112,500 thousand shares regarded as employee stock options, and
101,250,000 units of GDRs which represent 1,012,500 thousand shares of common stock, with a
unit of GDR representing 10 shares of common stock at the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Per
unit was issued at a premium of US$4.481, which was equivalent to $12.98 per share and raised
a total of $14,519,051, net of issuance cost. As of December 31, 2014, there were 69 thousand
units outstanding, representing 692 thousand shares of common stocks.
E.As authorized by the shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting in June, 2012, the Board of
Directors of the Company adopted a resolution on January 30, 2013, March 29, 2013 and
November 12, 2013 to issue restricted shares to employees, consisting of 36,263 thousand
shares without consideration and 36,263 thousand shares with consideration (the price for
subscription is $5 per share). The effective dates of the issuance were on January 30, 2013,
March 29, 2013 and December 12, 2013. Until the vesting conditions are met by employees,
those shares are restricted to transfer voting rights, dividend and other rights. As of December
31, 2014, the Company bought back 4,893 shares of unvested restricted stocks to employees,
181
and decreased capital in accordance with related regulation.
F.The stockholders at the stockholders’ meeting on January 6, 2010 approved the merger of the
Company with another company by issuing new shares, with the Company as the surviving
company. The Company issued 4,046,382 thousand new shares according to the merger contract.
The new shares included the common stock issued by the acquired companies in May and
December 2006 through private placement. The issuance of 570,929 thousand shares was
determined based on the exchange ratio in the merger contract. The rights and obligations of the
private common shares were the same as other issued common shares, except for the transfer
restriction under R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Act and the listing restriction that no public
listing will be allowed within three years since the day of issuance and only if the Company
completes the application to publicly issue the shares. The aforementioned private common
shares have not been publicly issued as of December 31, 2014.
G.In accordance with the Board of Directors’ resolution in August 2007, the Company decided to
issue 300 million shares of common stock for cash, including 149,967,500 units of GDRs which
represent 299,935 thousand shares of common stock with a unit of GDR representing 2 shares
of common stock. Per unit was issued at premium of US$9.02 (in dollars). In accordance with
the Board of Directors’ resolution in March 2013, the Company terminated the above mentioned
GDR, and the effective date of termination was in May 2013. The depository trust company
completed the cancellation and distributed proceeds in November 2013.
(46) Capital surplus
Pursuant to the R.O.C. Company Act, capital surplus arising from paid-in capital in excess of par
value on issuance of common stocks and donations can be used to cover accumulated deficit or to
issue new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, provided that the
Company has no accumulated deficit. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Law requires
that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalized mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the
paid-in capital each year. Accumulated deficit shall first be covered by retained earnings before the
capital reserve can be used to cover the accumulated deficit.

(47) Retained earnings
A.In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, net income must be distributed in
the following order:
183
(a)To pay all tax accruals and payables arising from the current year and to cover prior years’
losses, if any;
(b)As legal reserve equal to 10% of net income after tax and distribution pursuant to clause (a);
(c)As any special reserve;
(d)To pay dividends on preferred shares;
(e)To pay bonuses to employees not less than 5% of net income after tax and distribution
pursuant to clauses (a) to (d); and
(f)The remaining amount, if any, shall be distributed pursuant to the proposal of the Board of
Directors in accordance with the Company’s dividend policy and the resolution approved at
the stockholders’ meeting, of which 0.1% should be paid as remuneration to directors and
supervisors and the remaining amount as dividends to stockholders.
Dividends distributed in respect of any fiscal year in the form of shares shall not exceed
two-thirds of total dividends to stockholders.
B.Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in
proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose.
The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their
share ownership is permitted, provided that the balance of the reserve exceeds 25% of the
Company’s paid-in capital.
C.The Board of Directors proposed to cover accumulated deficit for the year ended December 31,
2012 and the proposal was approved by the stockholders in June 2013. It was resolved not to
distribute dividends or accrue employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration.
As approved by the stockholders in June 2013, the Company covered accumulated deficit
amounting to $27,308,220 by using additional paid-in capital in excess of par value of common
stock.
In June 2014, the shareholders approved and resolved the deficit compensation
amendment for 2012 which is to compensate deficit with legal reserve of $2,328,981 and
$24,979,239 by using additional paid-in capital in excess of par value of common stock.
D.The details of the appropriation of 2013 net income which was approved at the stockholders’
meeting in June 2014 are as follows:
$

Furthermore, the Company’s stockholders have resolved to distribute $0.14 cash per share with
capital surplus amounting to $1,266,944. The Company distributed a total of $0.15 cash dividend
per share.
184
E.Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration were accrued at $172,217 and
considering the period’s net profit after tax, legal reserve amongst other factors and the
Company’s Articles of Incorporation. As resolved by the stockholders in June 2014, employees’
bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration were $343,922 and $90, respectively,
resulting to a difference of $167,791 from the amounts in 2013 financial statements. The
difference was caused by different accrual ratio which has been processed as accounting
estimates after being approved at the stockholders’ meeting and recorded as expense in 2014. For
the year ended December 31, 2014, employees’ bonus was accrued at $1,436,187.
Information about the appropriation of employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’
remuneration by the Company as proposed by the Board of Directors will be posted in the
“Market Observation Post System” at the website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

9. SIGNIFICANT CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND UNRECOGNIZED CONTRACT
COMMITMENTS
(59) Contingencies－Significant Litigations
A.Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation (the “CMO”), Chi Mei Optoelectronics Japan Co., Ltd.,
Chi Mei Optoelectronics UK Ltd., Chi Mei Optoelectronics Europe B.V., and Chi Mei
Optoelectronics USA Inc. were investigated under the Anti-Trust competition by the United
States (the “U.S.”) Department of Justice. Moreover, authorities of some U.S state governments,
the European Union’s, Brazil’s and Korea’s governments are starting to investigate this case. In
addition, certain downstream customers and consumers in the TFT-LCD industry of the U.S. and
Canada are now bringing up class-actions or individual civil lawsuits against the TFT-LCD
companies; in certain lawsuits, CMO and Chi Mei Optoelectronics USA Inc. were listed as
defendants. Details for investigations on significant cases related to the Anti-Trust Act are as
follows:
(a)Regarding the above lawsuits, the Company had reached an agreement with the United States
Department of Justice in December 2009, agreeing to pay penalties of US$220 million in
installment over five years. As of December 31, 2014, the unpaid penalties amounted to
US$35 million.
The Company had reached settlement agreements with the plaintiffs on individual civil
lawsuits in the U.S. since 2012 and recognized related losses.
196
The Company reached an out-of-court settlement with twelve State Governments, agreeing to
pay the plaintiffs as civil statutory damages since November 2011.
(b)In December 2010, the Company received a notice from the European Commission,
requesting the Company to pay a penalty of EUR 300 million to the account as specified by
the European Commission within three months upon receipt of the notice. The Company
appealed this case with the Court of Justice of the European Union in February 2011 and
deposited EUR 300 million to the above account on March 14, 2011. The principal and interest
accrued in this account will be refunded to the Company depending on the final outcome of
this case. The Court of Justice of the European Union has rendered that partial of the
Company’s appeal was reasonable and lowered the penalty from EUR 300 million to EUR 288
million. The Company has decided to appeal against partial judgement within the prescribed
time.
(c)Except for the Anti-Trust litigations the ultimate outcome of which cannot be reliably
estimated, the Company has recognised actual or estimated losses or liabilities in “other
payables” and “other non-current liabilities”.
B.Eidos Displays, LLC and Eidos III, LLC (“Eidos”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and its
subsidiaries in the US with the United States District Court for the District of East Texas on April
25, 2011, alleging infringement of its patent. The administrative law judge has ruled a summary
judgment for the lawsuit in December 2013 rendering Eidos’ patent as invalid, and the presiding
judge has confirmed the summary judgment in January 2014. Eidos has filed a complaint in
February 2014 and the Company remained positive on its defense. The United States Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit has held a hearing in November 2014 but has not ruled any
judgment. The Company is currently assessing the status of the litigation.
The Company does
not expect that the lawsuit would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
position or results of operations in the short-term.

B.Financial risk management policies
(a)The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign
exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s
overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and
seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial position and financial
performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk
198
exposures (see Notes 6(2), (4)).
(b)Risk management is carried out by each treasury department (of all group companies) under
policies approved by the board of directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges
financial risks in close cooperation with the Group’s operating units. The Board provides
principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas and
matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative
financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment by excess
liquidity.
C.Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a)Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
a) The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from
various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD and RMB. Foreign
exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities
and net investments in foreign operations.
b) Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign
exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are required to
hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure via their treasury departments. To
manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and
recognized assets and liabilities, entities in the Group use forward foreign exchange
contracts. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or
recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s
functional currency.
c) The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s
and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: NTD; other certain subsidiaries’ functional
currency: RMB). Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit of a
1% exchange rate fluctuation would be an increase of $304,219 or a decrease of $439,379
for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The information on assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially
affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Price risk
a) The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the
Group that are classified on the consolidated balance sheet either as available-for-sale or
at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in
equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the policy set by
the Group.
b) The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted stocks.
The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of
investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by
20% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December
31, 2014 and 2013 would have increased/decreased by $121,031 and $142,521,
respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value
through profit or loss; other components of equity would have increased/decreased by
$1,027,423 and $746,506, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities
classified as available-for-sale.
200
Interest rate risk
a) The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at
variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by
cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose
the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and
2013, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD, USD and
RMB.
b) The Group analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are
simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative
financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on
profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate
shift is used for all currencies. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the
major interest-bearing positions.
c) Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit of a 0.1% shift would be
a maximum increase of $271,243 or decrease of $423,213 for the years ended December
31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The simulation is done on a quarterly basis to verify that
the maximum loss potential is within the limit given by the management.
d) Based on the various scenarios, the Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using
floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of
converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Generally, the Group raises
long-term borrowings at floating rates and swaps them into fixed rates that are lower than
those available if the Group borrowed at fixed rates directly. The Group agrees with other
parties to exchange interest rate, at specified intervals. The difference between fixed
contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed
notional amounts.
(b)Credit risk
a) Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the
clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. According to
the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and
analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and
delivery terms and conditions are offered. Customer credit quality is assessed via internal
risk control, considering customer financial position, past experience and other factors.
Individual risk limits are set by the board of directors based on internal or external ratings.
The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and
cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial
institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including
outstanding receivables. Because the Company's counterparties and executor are banks
201
with good credit standing and financial institutions and Government with investment
grade or above, there is no significant default. Therefore, there is no significant credit risk.
b) No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods. Management does not expect
any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
c) The individual analysis of financial assets that had been impaired is provided in Note 6.
(c)Liquidity risk
a) Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it
has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its
undrawn committed borrowing facilities (Note 6(12)) at all times so that the Group does
not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing
facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans,
covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and, external
regulatory or legal requirements.
b) Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working
capital management are transferred to the Group treasury. Group treasury invests surplus
cash in interest bearing saving accounts, time deposits, money market deposits and
marketable securities. The Group chooses instruments that are with appropriate maturities
or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the
abovementioned forecasts. These are expected to readily generate cash inflows for
managing liquidity risk.
c) The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or
gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the
remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for
non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative
financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted
cash flows.

(3) Fair value estimation
A.The table below analyses financial instruments measured at fair value, by valuation method. The
different levels have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
203
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair
value at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

B.The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices
at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and
regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or
regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions
on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is
the closing price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1
comprise primarily equity instruments and debt instruments classified as financial
assets/financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or available-for-sale financial
assets.
C.The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example,
over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation
techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as
possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument
are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
D.If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is
included in level 3.
E.Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
(a)Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
(b)The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future
cash flows based on observable yield curves.
(c)The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange
205
rates at the balance sheet date, with the resulting value discounted back to present value.
(d)Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for
the remaining financial instruments.
F.All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2 except for certain forward foreign
exchange contracts where forward exchange rates are not observable directly in the market.

(4) Turnaround plan
The Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $9,754,686 as of December 31, 2014.
The Group’s management adopted the following measures to improve its operations and financial
position:
A.Negotiation with the creditor banks as to the debt issue
On April 5, 2012, the Company signed an “Agreed-upon Repayment Agreement” with creditor
banks. Under the agreement, creditor banks agreed to extend the due dates for the repayment of
the Company’s short, medium and long-term loans and to renew the Company’s credit lines to
safeguard creditors’ rights and ensure the Company’s continuing operations. More information
is described in Note 6(12)C.
In order to repay the unpaid balance of the medium and long-term syndicated loans from the
approved the proposal of syndicated credit line of NTD$68.5 billion with financial institutions.
B.Capital increase by cash
According to the “Agreed-upon Repayment Agreement” (the Agreement) stated in Note 6(12)C,
the Company shall increase its capital in certain amount of cash within three years starting from
2012. From 2012 to 2014, the Company has completed some cash capital increase required by
the Agreement. For more information, please refer to Notes 6(16)B and D.
As the Company has received bank’s approval for extending capital increase, based on
shareholders’ interest, the issuance of the GDR was cancelled in accordance with the Financial
Supervisory Commission (FSC)’s approval. Details are provided in Note 6(16) C.
C.Improvements in operations
206
The Company continuously adjusts its product lines according to the market demands to
increase operating revenue and gross profit. The Company also tries to strictly control various
expenses and expenditures to effectively enhance operational performance to create cash
inflows from operating activities.
D.Capital expenditure control program
Future capital expenditures will focus on the upgrading technology, improving efficiency and
expanding production capacity. Capital expenditure budgets and amounts will be controlled
strictly to maximize the benefits of capital expenditures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Innolux Corporation
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Innolux Corporation as of
December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive
income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These parent company only
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these parent company only financial statements based on our audits. We did not
audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under equity method for the year
ended December 31, 2013. The long-term equity investments amounted to NT$2,618,196,000 as of
December 31, 2013, and the comprehensive income (including share of profit (loss) of subsidiaries,
associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method and share of other comprehensive
income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method) was
NT$451,716,000 for the year then ended. Those financial statements and the information disclosed in
Note 13 were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to
us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent
accountants.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of
Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the
Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits and the reports of other independent accountants provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, the parent
company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
235
financial position of Innolux Corporation as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and their financial
performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Regulations Governing
the Preparations of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”.
Innolux Corporation’s current liabilities have exceeded its current assets by NT$42,313,979,000 as of
December 31, 2014. As set forth in Note 12(4), management has designed a turnaround plan to
improve the Company’s operating efficiency.

commencing 2015, companies with shares listed on the TWSE or traded on the Taiwan GreTai
Securities Market or Emerging Stock Market shall adopt the 2013 version of IFRS (not including
IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’) as endorsed by the FSC and the "Regulations Governing the
Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" effective January 1, 2015 (collectively

Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of the 2013 version of IFRS has no significant
impact on the parent company only financial statements of the Company, except the following:
A. IAS 19, ‘Employee benefits’
Under the revised standard, net interest expense or income, calculated by applying the discount
rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability, replace the finance charge and expected return on
plan assets. Additional disclosures are also required.
B. IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’
The amendment requires entities to separate items presented in other comprehensive income
(OCI) classified by nature into two groups on the basis of whether they may be reclassified to
profit or loss subsequently when specific conditions are met. If the items are presented before tax
then the tax related to each of the two groups of OCI items (those that might be reclassified and
those that will not be reclassified) must be shown separately. Accordingly, the Company will
adjust its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.
244
C. IFRS 12, ‘Disclosure of interests in other entities’
The standard integrates the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements,
associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The Company will disclose additional
information about its interests in consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities accordingly.
D. IFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’
The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The standard sets out a framework for measuring fair value using the assumptions that market
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability; for non-financial assets, fair value is
determined based on the highest and best use of the asset. The standard requires disclosures
about fair value measurements. Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of the
standard has no significant impact on its parent company only financial statements and the
Company will disclose additional information about fair value measurements accordingly.
Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of the 2013 version of IFRSs has no significant
impact on the parent company only financial statements of the Company.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these parent company only financial
statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented,
unless otherwise stated.
(64) Compliance statement
These parent company only financial statements are prepared by the Company in accordance with
the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers.
(65) Basis of preparation
A.Except for the following items, these parent company only financial statements have been
prepared under the historical cost convention:
(a)Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value
through profit or loss.
(b)Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
(c)Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less
present value of defined benefit obligations.
B.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting
Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as
endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process
of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment
or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company
only financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(66) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The parent company only
financial statements are presented in NTD, which is the Company’s functional and presentation
currency.
246
A.Foreign currency transactions and balances
(a)Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange
rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are
recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except when deferred in other
comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
(b)Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are
re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences
arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
(c)Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value
through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet
date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive
income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their
translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However,
non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at
fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial
transactions.
(d)All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income
under “other gains and losses”.
B.Translation of foreign operations
(a)The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the
presentation currency as follows:
i.Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the exchange rate
prevailing at the dates of that balance sheet;
ii.Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average
exchange rates of that period;
iii.All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(b)When a foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences
that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or
loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, if the Company retains partial interest in the
former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate,
such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign
operations.
(c)When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange
differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred
to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, if the Company retains
247
partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign
subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign
operation.
(67) Classification of current and non-current items
A.Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are
classified as non-current assets:
(a)Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be
sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
(b)Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
(c)Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d)Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to
be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet
date.
B.Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise
they are classified as non-current liabilities:
(a)Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
(b)Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
(c)Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d)Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than
twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the
counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its
classification.
(68) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known
amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits and bonds
sold under repurchase agreements that meet the above criteria and held for the purpose of meeting
short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(69) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A.Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading or
designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets are
classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of sale in the
short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are
designated as hedges. Financial assets that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at
fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:
(a)Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
(b)They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
(c)They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with
a documented risk management or investment strategy.
248
B.On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are
recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
C.Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related
transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently
remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are
A.Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are designated in this category. On a
regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognized and
derecognized using trade date accounting.
B.Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs.
These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in
the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(71) Loans and receivables
Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the
entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business.
Accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term
accounts receivable which are non-interest bearing are subsequently measured at initial invoice
amount as the effect of discounting is insignificant.
(72) Impairment of financial assets
A.The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that an
individual financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on
the estimated future cash flows of an individual financial asset or group of financial assets that
can be reliably estimated.
B.The objective evidence that the Company uses to determine whether there is an impairment loss
is as follows:
(a)Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
(b)A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
(c)Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the
technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates
that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered; or
(d)A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument
below its cost.
C.When the Company assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an
impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the
category of financial assets:
249
(a)Financial assets measured at amortized cost
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s
original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period,
the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an
event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the
asset does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the
impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed
by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance
account.
(b)Available-for-sale financial assets
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s
acquisition cost (less any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less
any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss, and is
reclassified from “other comprehensive income” to “profit or loss”. If, in a subsequent period,
the fair value of an investment in a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, then such
impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss of an investment in an
equity instrument recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss.
Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset
through the use of an impairment allowance account.
(73) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the
weighted-average cost method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw
materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on
normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in
applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling
price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable
variable selling expenses.
(74) Investments accounted for under the equity method / subsidiaries / associates
A.Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and
operating policies. In general, control is presumed when the parent owns, directly or indirectly,
more than half of the voting power of an entity. The Company evaluates investments in
subsidiaries accounted using equity method in these parent company only financial statements.
B.Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between
companies within the Company are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been
adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
250
C.The Company's share of its subsidiaries' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit
or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is
recognised in other comprehensive income.
When the Company’s share of losses in a
subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognise
losses proportionate to its ownership.
D.If changes in the Company’s shares in subsidiaries do not result in loss in control (transactions
with non-controlling interest), transactions shall be considered as equity transactions, which are
transactions between owners. Difference of adjustment of non-controlling interest and fair value
of consideration paid or received is recognised in equity.
E.When the Company loses its control in a subsidiary, the Company revalues the remaining
investment in the prior subsidiary at fair value, and recognises the difference between fair value
and book value in the profit or loss for the period. The Company should reclassify all amounts
previously recognised as other comprehensive income and amounts relating to the prior
subsidiary to profit or loss.
F.Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control. In
general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or
indirectly 20 per cent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are
accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.
G.The Company’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit
or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is
recognized in other comprehensive income.
When the Company’s share of losses in an
associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Company does not recognize further
losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the
associate.
H.When changes in an associate’s equity are not recognized in profit or loss or other
comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Company’s
ownership percentage of the associate, the Company recognizes all the change in equity in
“capital surplus” in proportion to its ownership.
I.Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the
extent of the Company’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless
the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies
of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted
by the Company.
J.In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Company does not subscribe or acquire
new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Company’s ownership percentage of
the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then “capital surplus” and
“investments accounted for under the equity method” shall be adjusted for the increase or
decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the
251
Company’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the
amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are
reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the
relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
K.When the Company loses its control in an associate, the Company revalues the remaining
investment in the prior associate at fair value, and recognises the difference between fair value
and book value in the profit or loss for the period.
L.When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over
the associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to
the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the
relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
M.When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over
the associate, capital surplus in relation to the associate is transferred to profit or loss; if it
retains significant influence over the associate, the amounts are transferred in accordance with
the disposal ratio to profit or loss.
N.Pursuant to the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities
Issuers,” profit (loss) of the current period and other comprehensive income in the parent
company only financial statements shall equal to the amount attributable to owners of the parent
in the financial statements prepared with basis for consolidation. Owners’ equity in the parent
company only financial statements shall equal to equity attributable to owners of the parent in
the financial statements prepared with basis for consolidation.
A.Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the
construction period are capitalized.
B.Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying
amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to
profit or loss when incurred.
C.Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are
depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives.
If each component of property, plant and equipment is significant, it is depreciated separately.
D.The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful
lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future
economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted
for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors”, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant
252
and equipment are as follows:
Buildings
3~50 years
2~9 years
Others
2~6 years
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost
model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its
estimated useful life of 25~50 years.
A.Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
B.Intangible assets, mainly patents, royalties and other intangible assets, are amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 2～10 years.
(78) Impairment of non-financial assets
A.The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where
there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by
which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the
circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer
exist, the impairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognized in
profit or loss. Such recovery of impairment loss shall not result to the asset’s carrying amount
greater than its amortized cost where no impairment loss was recognized.
B.The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and
intangible assets that have not yet been available for use shall be evaluated periodically. An
impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognized in profit or loss shall
not be reversed in the following years.
C.For impairment testing purpose, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units. This allocation is
based on operating segments. Goodwill is allocated to a cash generating unit or a group of cash
generating units that expects to benefit from business combination that will produce goodwill.
(79) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A.Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading.
Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for
the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial
liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
B.Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value.
Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are
subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these
financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.
253
(80) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
A.Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into
and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Any changes in the fair value are
B.The Company designates certain derivatives as either:
(a)Hedges of the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value
hedge).
(b)Hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable
forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).
C.The Company documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging
instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for
undertaking various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at
hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging
transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged
items.
D.The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when
the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or
liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading
derivatives are classified as current assets or liabilities.
E.Fair value hedge
(a)Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as fair value hedges
are recorded in profit or loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset
or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The Company only applies fair value
hedge accounting for hedging foreign currency on long-term borrowings. The gain or loss
relating to the effective portion of currency swaps hedging long-term borrowings
denominated in foreign currency is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income
within “finance costs”. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”. Changes in the fair
value of the hedge long-term borrowings denominated in foreign currency attributable to
interest rate risk are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within “finance
costs”.
(b)If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying
amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortized to profit
or loss over the period to maturity.
F.Cash flow hedge
(a)The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and
qualified as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss
relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of
254
comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”.
(b)Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified into profit or loss in
the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the
effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income within “finance costs”.
(c)When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold, cancelled or executed, or when a hedge no
longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in other
comprehensive income at that time remains in other comprehensive income. When a forecast
transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was
reported in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss in the periods when
the hedged forecast cash flow affects profit or loss.
(81) Employee benefits
A.Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected
to be paid and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render
service.
B.Pensions
(a)Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses on an
accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund
or a reduction in the future payments.
(b)Defined benefit plans
i.The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is
the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair
value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized past service costs. The
defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the
projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates
of government bond (at the balance sheet date).
ii.Actuarial gains and losses arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other
comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
iii.Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss if vested immediately; if
not, the past service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
C.Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as expenses and
liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and
those amounts can be reliably estimated. However, if the accrued amounts for employees’ bonus
and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are different from the actual distributed amounts as
resolved by the stockholders at their stockholders’ meeting subsequently, the differences should
255
be recognized based on the accounting for changes in estimates. The Company calculates the
number of shares of employees’ stock bonus based on the fair value per share at the previous
day of the stockholders’ meeting held in the year following the financial reporting year, and after
taking into account the effects of ex-rights and ex-dividends.
(82) Employee share-based payment
A.For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are
measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized
as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The
fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions
and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the
service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity
instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance
sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of
equity instruments that eventually vest.
B.Restricted stocks to employees:
(a)Restricted stocks issued to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments
granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period.
(b)For restricted stocks where employees have to pay to acquire those stocks, if employees
resign during the vesting period, they must return the stocks to the Company and the
Company must refund their payments on the stocks. The Company recognizes the payments
from the employees who are expected to resign during the vesting period as liabilities at the
grant date, and recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to be
eventually vested with the stocks in “capital surplus – others”.
C.The grant date for the shares reserved for employee preemption in cash capital increase is the
date on which the Company informs employees of the grant and both the Company and
employees agree to the number of shares granted and the price for subscription.
(83) Income tax
A.The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or
loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or
items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive
income or equity.
B.The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its
subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions
taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It
establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax
authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is
recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
256
C.Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in
the parent company only balance sheet. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and
laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected
to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax
liability is settled.
D.Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each
balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
E.A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from
acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity
investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against
which the unused tax credits can be utilized.
(84) Revenue recognition
The Company manufactures and sells TFT-LCD panels. Revenue is measured at the fair value of
the consideration received or receivable taking into account value-added tax, returns, rebates and
discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Company’s
activities.
(85) Business combinations
A.The Company uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The Company
chooses to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the non-controlling interest’s
proportionate share of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets on an acquisition-by-acquisition
basis.
B.If the total of the fair values of the consideration of acquisition and any non-controlling interest
in the acquiree as well as the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the
acquiree is higher than the fair value of the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets
acquired, the difference is recorded as goodwill; if less than the fair value of the Company’s
share of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognized directly in profit or
loss.
(86) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION
UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these parent company only financial statements requires management to make
critical judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and
estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and
257
are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. The
information is addressed below:
(87) Critical judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies
Financial assets－impairment of equity investments
The Company follows the guidance of IAS 39 to determine whether a financial asset-equity
investment is impaired. This determination requires significant judgment. In making this judgment,
the Company evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an
equity investment is less than its cost and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for
the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and
operational and financing cash flow.
If the decline of the fair value of an individual equity investment below cost was considered
significant or prolonged, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in other comprehensive
income on the impaired “available-for-sale financial assets” is transferred to profit or loss.
(88) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions based on the expectation of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period. The resulting
accounting estimates might be different from the related actual results. The estimates and
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
A.Impairment assessment of goodwill
The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Company’s subjective judgment, including
identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related
cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units.
Please refer to Note 6(10) for the information on goodwill impairment.
B.Reliability of deferred income tax assets
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Assessment of the reliability of deferred income tax assets involves critical accounting judgments
and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales, revenue
growth rate, profit rate, tax holiday, available tax credits, and tax planning, etc. Any change in
global economic environment, industrial environment, and laws and regulations might cause
material adjustments to deferred income tax assets.
C.Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Company must
determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgments and
estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Company evaluates the amounts of normal
inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on
balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value.
258
D.Financial assets - fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market
The fair value of unlisted stocks held by the Company that are not traded in an active market is
determined considering those companies’ recent fund raising activities and technical development
status, fair value assessment of other companies of the same type, market conditions and other
economic indicators existing on balance sheet date. Any changes in these judgments and
estimates will impact the fair value measurement of these unlisted stocks. Please refer to Note
12(3) for the financial instruments fair value information.

C.The Company performed impairment analysis for recoverable amount of the goodwill at each
reporting date and used the value in use as the basis for calculation of the recoverable amount.
The value in use was calculated based on the estimated present value of future cash flows for
five years, which was discounted at the discount rate of 4.89% and 4.22% for the years ended
December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, to reflect the specific risks of the related cash
generating units. The future cash flows were estimated based on the future revenue, gross profit,
and other operating costs each year. Based on the evaluation above, the Company did not
recognize impairment loss on goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

B.The Company’s Board of Directors resolved to increase capital through cash on December 17,
2013 by issuing common shares of no more than 2 billion shares, in exchange for cash

10,625,000 shares. The issue price was determined to be $12.5 in July 2014, and the capital
increase was effective on August 12, 2014.
C.The Board of Directors of the Company resolved to increase capital for cash by issuing global
depositary receipts (the “GDR”). The amount of $9,360,000 is tentatively scheduled for release,
(approximately equivalent to US$312,625 thousand). As the Company has received bank’s
approval for extending capital increase, based on shareholders’ interest, the issuance of the GDR
was cancelled in accordance with the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)’s approval on
January 30, 2015.
D.As authorized by the shareholders during their meeting in June 2012, the Board of Directors of
the Company resolved to increase capital for cash by issuing the GDR on July 18, 2012, and

common stock for cash, including 112,500 thousand shares regarded as employee stock options,
and 101,250,000 units of GDRs which represent 1,012,500 thousand shares of common stock,
with a unit of GDR representing 10 shares of common stock at the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange. Per unit was issued at a premium of US$4.481, which was equivalent to $12.98 per
share and raised a total of $14,519,051, net of issuance cost. As of December 31, 2014, there
were 69 thousand units outstanding, representing 692 thousand shares of common stocks.
E.As authorized by the shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting in June, 2012, the Board of
276
Directors of the Company adopted a resolution on January 30, 2013, March 29, 2013 and
November 12, 2013 to issue restricted shares to employees, consisting of 36,263 thousand
shares without consideration and 36,263 thousand shares with consideration (the price for
subscription is $5 per share). The effective dates of the issuance were on January 30, 2013,
March 29, 2013 and December 12, 2013. Until the vesting conditions are met by employees,
those shares are restricted to transfer voting rights, dividend and other rights. As of December
31, 2014, the Company bought back 4,893 shares of unvested restricted stocks to employees,
and decreased capital in accordance with related regulation.
F.The stockholders at the stockholders’ meeting on January 6, 2010 approved the merger of the
Company with another company by issuing new shares, with the Company as the surviving
company. The Company issued 4,046,382 thousand new shares according to the merger contract.
The new shares included the common stock issued by the acquired companies in May and
December 2006 through private placement. The issuance of 570,929 thousand shares was
determined based on the exchange ratio in the merger contract. The rights and obligations of the
private common shares were the same as other issued common shares, except for the transfer
restriction under R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Act and the listing restriction that no public
listing will be allowed within three years since the day of issuance and only if the Company
completes the application to publicly issue the shares. The aforementioned private common
shares have not been publicly issued as of December 31, 2014.
G.In accordance with the Board of Directors’ resolution in August 2007, the Company decided to
issue 300 million shares of common stock for cash, including 149,967,500 units of GDRs which
represent 299,935 thousand shares of common stock with a unit of GDR representing 2 shares
of common stock. Per unit was issued at premium of US$9.02 (in dollars). In accordance with
the Board of Directors’ resolution in March 2013, the Company terminated the abovementioned
GDR, and the effective date of termination was in May 2013. The depository trust company
completed the cancellation and distributed proceeds in November 2013.
(105) Capital surplus
Pursuant to the R.O.C. Company Act, capital surplus arising from paid-in capital in excess of par
value on issuance of common stocks and donations can be used to cover accumulated deficit or to
issue new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, provided that the
Company has no accumulated deficit. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Law requires
that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalized mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the
paid-in capital each year. Accumulated deficit shall first be covered by retained earnings before the
capital reserve can be used to cover the accumulated deficit.

the following order:
(a)To pay all tax accruals and payables arising from the current year and to cover prior years’
losses, if any;
(b)As legal reserve equal to 10% of net income after tax and distribution pursuant to clause (a);
(c)As any special reserve;
(d)To pay dividends on preferred shares;
(e)To pay bonuses to employees not less than 5% of net income after tax and distribution

(f)The remaining amount, if any, shall be distributed pursuant to the proposal of the Board of

the stockholders’ meeting, of which 0.1% should be paid as remuneration to directors and

Dividends distributed in respect of any fiscal year in the form of shares shall not exceed
two-thirds of total dividends to stockholders.
B.Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in

The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their
share ownership is permitted, provided that the balance of the reserve exceeds 25% of the
Company’s paid-in capital.
C.The Board of Directors proposed to cover accumulated deficit for the year ended December 31,
2012 and the proposal was approved by the stockholders in June 2013. It was resolved not to
distribute dividends or accrue employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration.
As approved by the stockholders in June 2013, the Company covered accumulated deficit
amounting to $27,308,220 by using additional paid-in capital in excess of par value of common
stock.
In June 2014, the shareholders approved and resolved the deficit compensation
amendment for 2012 which is to compensate deficit with legal reserve of $2,328,981 and
$24,979,239 by using additional paid-in capital in excess of par value of common stock.

per share.
E.Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration were accrued at $172,217 and
considering the period’s net profit after tax, legal reserve amongst other factors and the
Company’s Articles of Incorporation. As resolved by the stockholders in June 2014, employees’
bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration were $343,922 and $90, respectively,
resulting to a difference of $167,791 from the amounts in 2013 financial statements. The
difference was caused by different accrual ratio which has been processed as accounting
estimates after being approved at the stockholders’ meeting and recorded as expense in 2014.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, employees’ bonus was accrued at $1,436,187.

COMMITMENTS
(118) Contingencies－Significant Litigations
A.Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation (the “CMO”), Chi Mei Optoelectronics Japan Co., Ltd.,
Chi Mei Optoelectronics UK Ltd., Chi Mei Optoelectronics Europe B.V., and Chi Mei
Optoelectronics USA Inc. were investigated under the Anti-Trust competition by the United
States (the “U.S.”) Department of Justice. Moreover, authorities of some U.S state governments,
the European Union’s, Brazil’s and Korea’s governments are starting to investigate this case. In
addition, certain downstream customers and consumers in the TFT-LCD industry of the U.S. and
Canada are now bringing up class-actions or individual civil lawsuits against the TFT-LCD
companies; in certain lawsuits, CMO and Chi Mei Optoelectronics USA Inc. were listed as
defendants. Details for investigations on significant cases related to the Anti-Trust Act are as
follows:
(a)Regarding the above lawsuits, the Company had reached an agreement with the United States
Department of Justice in December 2009, agreeing to pay penalties of US$220 million in
installment over five years. As of December 31, 2014, the unpaid penalties amounted to
US$35 million.
292
The Company had reached settlement agreements with the plaintiffs on individual civil
lawsuits in the U.S. since 2012 and recognized related losses.
The Company reached an out-of-court settlement with twelve State Governments, agreeing to
pay the plaintiffs as civil statutory damages since November 2011.
(b)In December 2010, the Company received a notice from the European Commission,
requesting the Company to pay a penalty of EUR 300 million to the account as specified by
the European Commission within three months upon receipt of the notice. The Company
appealed this case with the Court of Justice of the European Union in February 2011 and
deposited EUR 300 million to the above account on March 14, 2011. The principal and interest
accrued in this account will be refunded to the Company depending on the final outcome of
this case. The Court of Justice of the European Union has rendered that partial of the
Company’s appeal was reasonable and lowered the penalty from EUR 300 million to EUR 288
million. The Company has decided to appeal against partial judgement within the prescribed
time.
(c)Except for the Anti-Trust litigations the ultimate outcome of which cannot be reliably
estimated, the Company has recognised actual or estimated losses or liabilities in “other
payables” and “other non-current liabilities”.
B.Eidos Displays, LLC and Eidos III, LLC (“Eidos”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and its
subsidiaries in the US with the United States District Court for the District of East Texas on April
25, 2011, alleging infringement of its patent. The administrative law judge has ruled a summary
judgment for the lawsuit in December 2013 rendering Eidos’ patent as invalid, and the presiding
judge has confirmed the summary judgment in January 2014. Eidos has filed a complaint in
February 2014 and the Company remained positive on its defense. The United States Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit has held a hearing in November 2014 but has not ruled any
judgment. The Company is currently assessing the status of the litigation.
The Company does
not expect that the lawsuit would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
position or results of operations in the short-term.

B.Financial risk management policies
(a)The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including
foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The
Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial
markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position
and financial performance. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge
certain risk exposures (see Notes 6(2), (4)).
(b)Risk management is carried out by the treasury department under policies approved by the
board of directors. Company treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close
cooperation with the Company’s operating units. The Board provides principles for overall
risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign
exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and
non-derivative financial instruments, and investment by excess liquidity.
C.Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a)Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
d) The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising
from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD and RMB. Foreign
exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities
and net investments in foreign operations.
e) Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign
exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are required to
hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure via their treasury departments. To
manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and
recognized assets and liabilities, entities in the Company use forward foreign exchange
contracts. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized
assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional
currency.
295
f) The Company’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the
Company’s functional currency: NTD). Based on the simulations performed, the impact
on post-tax profit of a 1% exchange rate fluctuation would be a decrease of $13,765 or
$324,198 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The information
on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be
materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Note: Exchange rate represents the amount of NT dollars for which one foreign currency
could be exchanged.
Price risk
c) The Company is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the
Company that are classified on the parent company only balance sheet either as
available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising
from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio in accordance
with the policy set by the Company.
d) The Company’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted
stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value
of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by
20% with all other variables held constant, other components of equity for the years ended
December 31, 2014 and 2013 would have increased/decreased by $620,292 and $320,825,
respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale.
296
Interest rate risk
e) The Company’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at
variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset
by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates
expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31,
2014 and 2013, the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD,
USD and RMB.
f) The Company analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are
simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative
financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Company calculates the impact on
profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate
shift is used for all currencies. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the
major interest-bearing positions.
g) Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit of a 25% shift would be
a maximum increase of $245,892 or decrease of $389,392 for the years ended December
31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The simulation is done on a quarterly basis to verify that
the maximum loss potential is within the limit given by the management.
h) Based on the various scenarios, the Company manages its cash flow interest rate risk by
using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic
effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Generally, the Company
raises long-term borrowings at floating rates and swaps them into fixed rates that are
lower than those available if the Company borrowed at fixed rates directly. The Company
agrees with other parties to exchange interest rate, at specified intervals. The difference
between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to
the agreed notional amounts.
(b)Credit risk
d) Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the
clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. According to
the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in the Company is responsible for
managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard
payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Customer credit quality is
assessed via internal risk control, considering customer financial position, past experience
and other factors. Individual risk limits are set by the board of directors based on internal
or external ratings. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises
from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks
and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers,
including outstanding receivables. Because the Company's counterparties and executor
297
are banks with good credit standing and financial institutions and government with
investment grade or above, there is no significant default. Therefore, there is no
significant credit risk.
e) No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods. Management does not expect
any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
f) The individual analysis of financial assets that had been impaired is provided in Note 6.
(c)Liquidity risk
d) Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to
ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient
headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities (Note 6(12)) at all times so that
the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of
its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Company’s debt
financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets
and external regulatory or legal requirements.
e) Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working
capital management are transferred to the Company treasury. Company treasury invests
surplus cash in interest bearing savings accounts, time deposits, money market deposits
and marketable securities. The Company chooses instruments that are with appropriate
maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the
abovementioned forecasts. These are expected to readily generate cash inflows for
managing liquidity risk.
f) The table below analyses the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled
or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on
the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for
non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative
financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted
cash flows.

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

B.The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices
at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and
regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or
regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions
on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company
is the closing price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1
comprise primarily equity instruments and debt instruments classified as financial
assets/financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or available-for-sale financial
assets.
C.The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example,
over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation
techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as
possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument
are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
D.If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is
included in level 3.
E.Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
(a)Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
(b)The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future
cash flows based on observable yield curves.
(c)The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange
rates at the balance sheet date, with the resulting value discounted back to present value.
301
(d)Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for
the remaining financial instruments.
F.All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2 except for certain forward foreign
exchange contracts where forward exchange rates are not observable directly in the market.
G.The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments as at December 31, 2014 and

(14) Turnaround plan
The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $42,313,979 as of December 31,
2014. The Company’s management adopted the following measures to improve its operations and
financial position:
A.Negotiation with the creditor banks as to the debt issue
On April 5, 2012, the Company signed an “Agreed-upon Repayment Agreement” with creditor
banks. Under the agreement, creditor banks agreed to extend the due dates for the repayment of
the Company’s short, medium and long-term loans and to renew the Company’s credit lines to
safeguard creditors’ rights and ensure the Company’s continuing operations. More information
is described in Note 6(12)C.
In order to repay the unpaid balance of the medium and long-term syndicated loans from the
approved the proposal for the Company to apply for a syndicated credit line of NTD$68.5
billion with financial institutions.
B.Capital increase by cash
According to the “Agreed-upon Repayment Agreement” (the Agreement) stated in Note 6(12)C,
the Company shall increase its capital in certain amount of cash within three years starting from
2012. From 2012 to 2014, the Company has completed some cash capital increase required by
the Agreement. For more information, please refer to Notes 6(16)B and D.
As the Company has received bank’s approval for extending capital increase, based on
shareholders’ interest, the issuance of the GDR was cancelled in accordance with the Financial
Supervisory Commission (FSC)’s approval. Details are provided in Note 6(16) C.
C.Improvements in operations
The Company continuously adjusts its product lines according to the market demands to
increase operating revenue and gross profit. The Company also tries to strictly control various
302
expenses and expenditures to effectively enhance operational performance to create cash
inflows from operating activities.
D.Capital expenditure control program
Future capital expenditures will focus on the upgrading technology, improving efficiency and
expanding production capacity. Capital expenditure budgets and amounts will be controlled
strictly to maximize the benefits of capital expenditures.
