The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income and change in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

CHUNGHWA TELECOM CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)
1. | GENERAL |
Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (“Chunghwa”) was incorporated on July 1, 1996 in the Republic of China (“ROC”) pursuant to the Article 30 of the Telecommunications Act. Chunghwa is a company limited by shares and, prior to August 2000, was wholly owned by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (“MOTC”). Prior to July 1, 1996, the current operations of Chunghwa were carried out under the Directorate General of Telecommunications (“DGT”). The DGT was established by the MOTC in June 1943 to take primary responsibility in the development of telecommunications infrastructure and to formulate policies related to telecommunications. On July 1, 1996, the telecom operations of the DGT were spun-off as Chunghwa which continues to carry out the business and the DGT continues to be the industry regulator.
As the dominant telecommunications service provider of domestic and international fixed-line, Global System for Mobile Communications (“GSM”), and Third Generation (“3G”) in the ROC, Chunghwa is subject to additional regulations imposed by the ROC.
Effective August 12, 2005, the MOTC had completed the process of privatizing Chunghwa by reducing the government ownership to below 50% in various stages. In July 2000, Chunghwa received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (the “SFC”) for a domestic initial public offering and its common shares were listed and traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (the “TWSE”) on October 27, 2000. Certain of Chunghwa’s common shares were sold, in connection with the foregoing privatization plan, in domestic public offerings at various dates from August 2000 to July 2003. Certain of Chunghwa’s common shares were also sold in an international offering of securities in the form of American Depository Shares (“ADS”) on July 17, 2003 and were listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The MOTC sold common shares of Chunghwa by auction in the ROC on August 9, 2005 and completed the second international offering on August 10, 2005. Upon completion of the share transfers associated with these offerings on August 12, 2005, the MOTC owned less than 50% of the outstanding shares of Chunghwa and completed the privatization plan.
Chunghwa together with its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Company”.
The financial statements are presented in Chunghwa’s functional currency, New Taiwan dollars.
2. | APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 13, 2015.
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Statement of Compliance
The accompany consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) (the “Taiwan-IFRS”).
- 11 -
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include:
a. | Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading; |
b. | Assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; and |
c. | Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. |
Current liabilities include:
a. | Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading; |
b. | Liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; and |
c. | Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period. |
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
Light Era Development Co., Ltd. (LED) engages mainly in development of property for rent and sale. The assets and liabilities of LED related to property development within its operating cycle, which is over one year, are classified as current items.
Basis of Consolidation
a. | Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements |
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Chunghwa and entities controlled by the Chunghwa (its subsidiaries).
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by the Company.
All intra-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.
Attribution of total comprehensive income to noncontrolling interests
Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries
Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Company’s interests and the noncontrolling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent.

The following diagram presents information regarding the relationship and ownership percentages between Chunghwa and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014:
- 15 -
Business Combination
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
Foreign Currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the date when the fair value was determined and related exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss. Conversely, when the fair value changes were recognized in other comprehensive income, related exchange difference shall be recognized in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purposes of presenting financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations (including of the subsidiaries in other countries or currencies used different with Chunghwa) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity attributed to noncontrolling interests as appropriate.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include commercial paper, time deposits and negotiable certificate of deposit with original maturities within three months from the date of acquisition, highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted-average cost) or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The calculation of the cost of inventory is derived using the weighted-average method.
Buildings and Lands Consigned to Constructing Firm
Inventories of LED are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group as similar items or related inventories. Land acquired before construction is classified as land held for development, and then reclassified as land held under development after LED begins its construction project.
- 16 -
When using the completed-contract method for its construction projects, LED recognizes the proceeds from customers as advances from customers for land and building before the construction project is completed. After completion of the construction project and ownership is transferred to the customers, LED recognizes the relevant revenues.
Investments in Associates and Jointly Controlled Entities
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate entity in which ventures have joint control over the economic activity of the entity are referred to as jointly controlled entities.
The operating results and assets and liabilities of associates and jointly controlled entities are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate and jointly controlled entity is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and jointly controlled entity. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of equity of associates and jointly controlled entities attributable to the Company.
When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of the associate and jointly controlled entity at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the associate and jointly controlled entity. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to additional paid-in capital. When the adjustment should be debited to additional paid-in capital but the additional paid-in capital recognized from investments accounted for using equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate and jointly controlled entity recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
When the Company transacts with its associate and jointly controlled entity, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate and jointly controlled entity are recognized in the Company’ consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate and jointly controlled entity that are not related to the Company.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Any gain or loss arising on the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
- 17 -
Investment Properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the investment properties is calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognized.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributable goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed to be zero unless the Company expects to dispose of the intangible asset before the end of its economic life.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.
Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
- 18 -
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
a. | Financial assets |
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
1) | Measurement category |
a) | Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) |
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.
b) | Held-to-maturity financial assets |
The Company invests in bank debentures and corporate bonds over specific credit ratings and the Company has positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are classified as held-to-maturity investments.
Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment.
c) | Available-for-sale financial assets (AFS financial assets) |
AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as AFS or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity financial assets or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
- 19 -
Listed stocks, emerging market stocks and unlisted stocks held by the Company and classified as AFS in an active market are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. AFS equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets can be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount and the fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income. Any impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.
AFS financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amount of AFS monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on AFS equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of AFS financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired.
Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established.
d) | Loans and receivables |
Loans and receivables (including cash and cash equivalent, trade receivables, accounts receivable from related parties, other financial assets and refundable deposits) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
2) | Impairment of financial assets |
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is 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.
For financial assets measured at amortized cost, 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 was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
For AFS equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.
When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.
- 20 -
In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. In respect of AFS debt securities, the impairment loss is subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.
For financial assets that are carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable and other receivables are considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss except for uncollectible trade receivables and other receivables that are written off against the allowance account.
3) | Derecognition of financial assets |
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.
b. | Financial liabilities |
1) | Subsequent measurement |
Except for financial liabilities at FVTPL, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
2) | Derecognition of financial liabilities |
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
c. | Derivative financial instruments |
The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks, including cross currency swap contract and foreign exchange forward contracts.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
- 21 -
Hedge Accounting
The Company designates derivatives instruments as cash flow hedges. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the line item relating to the hedged item in the same period when the hedged item affects profit or loss. If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the associated gains and losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are removed from equity and are included in the initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Company revokes the designated hedging relationship, or when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income from the period when the hedge was effective remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Provisions
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company’s obligation by the management of the Company.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:
a. | The Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; |
b. | The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
c. | The amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
d. | It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and |
e. | The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
Services revenue is recognized when service provided.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of sales discounts and volume rebates. For trade receivables due within one year from the balance sheet date, as the nominal value of the consideration to be received approximates its fair value and transactions are frequent, fair value of the consideration is not determined by discounting all future receipts using an imputed rate of interest.
- 22 -
Usage revenues from fixed-line services (including local, domestic long distance and international long distance), cellular services, Internet and data services, and interconnection and call transfer fees from other telecommunications companies and carriers are billed in arrears and are recognized based upon seconds or minutes of traffic processed when the services are provided in accordance with contract terms.
Other revenues are recognized as follows: (a) one-time subscriber connection fees (on fixed-line services) are deferred and recognized over the average expected customer service periods, (b) monthly fees (on fixed-line services, mobile, Internet and data services) are accrued every month, and (c) prepaid services (fixed-line, mobile, Internet and data services) are recognized as income based upon actual usage by customers or when the right to use those services expires.
Where the Company enters into transactions which involve both the provision of air time bundled with products such as 3G data card and handset, total consideration received from products and air time in these arrangements are allocated and measured using units of accounting within the arrangement based on their relative fair values limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of products.
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established. Under the premises that there is much chance economic benefit related to the transactions will flow to the Company and that the revenue can be reasonably measured.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
Leasing
a. | The Company as lessor |
Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
b. | The Company as lessee |
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Other than stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Retirement Benefit Costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
- 23 -
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method. All actuarial gains and losses on the defined benefit obligation are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated balance sheets represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the unrecognized past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Curtailment or settlement gains or losses on the defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs.
Share-based Payment Arrangements - Employee Stock Options
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the employee share options is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of employee share options that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital - employee share options. The fair value determined at the grant date of the employee share options is recognized as an expense in full at the grate date when the share options granted vest immediately.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews its estimate of the number of employee share options expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital - employee stock options.
Income Tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
a. | Current tax |
According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
b. | Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences, loss carryforwards, unused tax credits from purchases of machinery equipment and technology and research and development expenditures
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
- 24 -
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
c. | Current and deferred tax for the year |
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income.
4. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY AND ASSUMPTION |
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the managements are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which are based on historical experience and other factors that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
a. | Impairment of accounts receivable |
When there is objective evidence showed indications of impairment, the Company will considered the estimation of future cash flows. The amount of impairment will be measured on the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted by the original effective interest rates of the financial assets. However, the impact from the discount of short-term receivables is not material, the impairment of short-term receivables is measured at the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated future cash flows. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.
b. | Provision for inventory valuation and obsolescence |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is calculated as the final selling price minus the estimated selling costs. Comparison of net realizable value and cost is determined on an item by item basis, except those similar items which could be categorized into the same groups. The Company uses the inventory holding period and turnover as the evaluation basis for inventory obsolescence losses.
- 25 -
c. | Impairment of tangible and intangible assets |
When an indication of impairment is assessed with objective evidence, the impairment is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The estimate of recoverable amount would impact on the timing and the amount of impairment loss recognition.
d. | Useful lives of property, plant and equipment |
As discussed in Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company reviewed estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each year.
e. | Recognition and measurement of defined benefit plans |
Accrued pension liabilities and the resulting pension expense under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial assumptions comprise the discount rate, rate of employee turnover, and long-term average future salary increase. Changes in economic circumstances and market conditions will affect these assumptions and may have a material impact on the amount of the expense and the liability.
5. | APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS |

(Concluded)
Note: | Unless stated otherwise, the above new, revised or amended standards or interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after the respective effective dates. |
Except for the following, the application of aforementioned 2013 Taiwan-IFRSs version and the related amendments to the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers will not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:
1) | IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” |
IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in the current standards. The Company will apply the new disclosure requirements of IFRS 12 in 2015.
2) | IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” |
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and related disclosures. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.
The Company will apply IFRS 13 prospectively in 2015.
3) | Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income” |
The amendments to IAS 1 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those that (1) will not be reclassified to profit or loss; and (2) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Previously, there were no such requirements.
- 27 -
The Company will apply the amendments to IAS 1 in 2015. The items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss are expected to include actuarial gains or losses from defined benefit plans, the share of actuarial gains or losses from defined benefit plans of associates and jointly controlled entities as well as the related income tax on such items. Items that will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss are expected to include exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations, changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets, cash flow hedges, the share of other comprehensive income of associates and jointly controlled entities as well as the related income tax on items of other comprehensive income (except for the share of actuarial gains or losses from defined benefit plans of associates and jointly controlled entities). However, the application of the above amendments will not result in any impact on the net income, other comprehensive income, net of tax and total comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2014.
4) | Amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” |
The amendments to IAS 19 change the accounting for defined benefit plans, which require the Company to recognize changes in defined benefit obligations or assets and to disclose the components of the defined benefit costs. According to the amendments, the past service cost, will be expensed immediately when it incurs and no longer be amortized over the average period before vested on a straight-line basis. In addition, the revised IAS 19 introduces certain changes in the presentation of the defined benefit cost, and also includes more extensive disclosures.
When the Company applies the amendments to IAS 19 in 2015, employee benefits will be recognized based on actuarial calculations in accordance with IAS 19. The Company anticipates that as of December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014, deferred tax assets will be retrospectively adjusted to decrease by $5,220 thousand and $6,103 thousand, respectively; accrued pension liabilities will be retrospectively adjusted to decrease by $30,708 thousand and $35,898 thousand, respectively; retained earnings will be retrospectively adjusted to increase by $21,920 thousand and $26,040 thousand, respectively; noncontrolling interests will be retrospectively adjusted to increase by $3,568 thousand and $3,755 thousand, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014 pension cost will increase by $5,190 thousand in operating expenses, and income tax expenses will decrease by $883 thousand.
b. | The IFRSs issued by IASB but not endorsed by FSC |
The Company has not applied the following IFRSs issued by the IASB but not endorsed by the FSC.

Except for the following, the initial application of the above new standards and interpretations will not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:
1) | IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” |
Recognition and measurement of financial assets
With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below.
For the Company’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows:
a) | For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method. |
b) | For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. |
Except for above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. However, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
The impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.
For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
- 30 -
Hedge accounting
The main changes in hedge accounting amended the application requirements for hedge accounting to better reflect the entity’s risk management activities. Compared with IAS 39, the main changes include: (1) enhancing types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the risk eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way hedging derivative instruments are accounted for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness assessment with the principle of economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.
2) | Amendment to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets” |
In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made consequential amendment to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that such disclosure of recoverable amounts is required only when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, the Company is required to disclose the discount rate used in measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.
3) | IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” |
IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations from January 1, 2017.
When applying IFRS 15, an entity shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps:
a) | Identify the contract with the customer; |
b) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
c) | Determine the transaction price; |
d) | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and |
e) | Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
When IFRS 15 is effective, an entity may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuingly assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Company’s financial position and operating result, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is complete.

The average credit terms range from 30 to 90 days. In determining the recoverability of trade notes and accounts receivable, the Company considers significant change in the credit quality of the trade notes and accounts receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period. In general, with few exceptional cases, it is unlikely for the notes and accounts receivable due longer than 180 days to be collected, therefore the Company recognized 100% allowance of notes and accounts receivable overdue longer than 180 days. For the notes and accounts receivable less than 180 days, the allowance for doubtful accounts was estimated based on the Company’s historical recovery experience.
The Company serves a large consumer base; therefore, the concentration of credit risk is limited.
The aging of estimated recoverable amount of receivables that were past due but not impaired as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:

The above non-listed stocks are classified as available-for-sale financial assets based on financial assets categories (see Note 37). Since the range of fair values measurement is significant and difficult to reasonably evaluate the possibilities of the estimations, the fair values of the investments cannot be reliably measured, thus the above non-listed stocks investments owned by the Company were carried at costs less any impairment losses at the balance sheet date.
CHI evaluated and concluded its financial assets carried at cost were partially impaired, and recorded an impairment loss of $23,334 thousand and $66,342 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Additional paid-in capital may only be utilized to offset deficits. However, the additional paid-in capital from shares issued in excess of par and donations may be distributed in cash or capitalized when a company has no deficit, which however is limited to a certain percentage of Chunghwa’s paid-in capital.

c. | Retained earnings and dividends policy |
Before distributing a dividend or making any other distribution to stockholders, Chunghwa must pay all outstanding taxes, offset deficits in prior years and set aside a legal reserve equal to 10% of its net income, except when the accumulated amount of such legal reserve equals to the Company’s total authorized capital, and depending on its business needs or requirements, may also set aside or reverse special reserves. In accordance with Chunghwa’s Articles of Incorporation, no less than 50% of the remaining earnings comprising remaining balance of net income, if any, plus cumulative undistributed earnings shall be distributed in the following order: (a) from 2% to 5% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to employees as employee bonus; (b) no more than 0.2% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to board of directors and supervisors as remuneration; and (c) cash dividends to be distributed shall not be less than 50% of the total amount of dividends to be distributed. If cash dividend to be distributed is less than $0.10 per share, such cash dividend shall be distributed in the form of common shares.
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the accrual amounts for bonuses to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors were accrued based on past experiences and the probable amount to be paid in accordance with Chunghwa’s Articles of Incorporation and Implementation Guidance for the Employee’s Bonus Distribution of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.
If the initial accrual amounts of the aforementioned bonus are significantly different from the amounts proposed by the board of directors, the difference is charged to the earnings of the year making the initial estimate. Otherwise, the difference between initial accrual amount and the amount resolved in the shareholders’ meeting is charged to the earnings of the following year as a result of change in accounting estimate. If the shareholders’ meeting approved to distribute the employee bonus as stocks, the share number of the stock bonus were determined by the amount of bonus divided by the fair value of the common stocks which was the closing market prices one day before shareholders’ meeting after taking into account the effects of ex-rights and ex-dividends.
The Company should appropriate or reverse a special reserve in accordance with Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and the directive entitled “Questions and Answers on Special Reserves Appropriated Following the Adoption of Taiwan-IFRSs”. Distributions can be made out of any subsequent reversal of the debit to other equity items.
The appropriation for legal reserve shall be made until the accumulated reserve equals the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of Chunghwa. This reserve can only be used to offset a deficit, or, when the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Chunghwa’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
Except for non-ROC resident shareholders, all shareholders receiving the dividends are entitled a tax credit equal to their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Chunghwa.
The appropriations of earnings for 2013 and 2012 had been approved in the stockholders’ meetings on June 24, 2014 and June 25, 2013 were as follows:

The dilutive effect of the shares needs to be considered until the stockholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees in their meeting in the following year.
33. | SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT |
a. | SENAO share-based compensation plans |
SENAO share-based compensation plans (“SENAO Plans”) described as follows:
Effective Date | Resolution Date by SENAO’s Board of Directors | Stock Options Units (Thousand) | Exercise Price (NT$) | |||||||
2007.10.16 | 2007.10.31 | 6,181 | $ | 42.60 | ||||||

2012.05.28 | 2013.04.29 | 10,000 | $ | 84.30 | ||||||
(Original price $93.00) |
- 64 -
Each option is eligible to subscribe for one common share when exercisable. Under the terms of the SENAO Plans, the options are granted at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the SENAO’s common shares listed on the TSE on the higher of closing price or par value. The SENAO Plans have exercise price adjustment formula upon the issuance of new common shares, capitalization of retained earnings and/or capital reserves, stock split as well as distribution of cash dividends, except (i) in the case of issuance of new shares in connection with mergers and in the case of cancellation of outstanding shares in connection with capital reduction, and (ii) except if the exercise price after adjustment exceeds the exercise price before adjustment. The options of all the Plans are valid for six years and the graded vesting schedule for which 50% of option granted will vest two years after the grant date and another two tranches of 25%, each will vest three and four years after the grant date respectively.
SENAO elected not to apply IFRS 2 retrospectively for the share-based payment transactions which were granted and vested before the transition date.
Stock options granted on May 7, 2013 applied IFRS 2. The recognized compensation cost was $93,287 thousand and $69,579 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
SENAO modified the plan terms of the outstanding stock options in July 2014 and June 2013 for 2013 Plan, the exercise price changed from $89.40 to $84.30 per share and $93.00 to $89.40 per share, respectively. The modification did not cause any incremental fair value.

c. | Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purposes of measuring fair value. |
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
1) | The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices. |
2) | Forward exchange contracts are measured using quoted forward exchange rates and yield curves derived from quoted interest rates matching maturities of the contracts. Where such prices are not available, the value of the forward exchange contracts were calculated based on the forward exchange rate on the maturity date quoted by the financial institutions separately. Estimates and assumptions used in valuation techniques are consistent with the information used by market participants in determining the prices of financial instruments. |
Financial Risk Management Objectives
The main financial instruments of the Company include equity and debt investments, accounts receivable, accounts payables and loans. The Company’s Finance Department provides services to its business units, co-ordinates access to domestic and international capital markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.
The Company seeks to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Company’s policies approved by the board of directors. Those derivatives are used to hedge the risks of exchange rate and interest rate fluctuation arising from operating or investment activities. Compliance with policies and risk exposure limits is audited by the Company’s Finance Department on a continuous basis. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
Chunghwa reports the significant risk exposures and related action plans timely and actively to the audit committee and if needed to the board of directors.
a. | Market risk |
The Company is exposed to market risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising from assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
There were no changes to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly exposed to the fluctuations of the currencies listed above.
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the functional currency against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and forward exchange contracts. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit or equity where the functional currency weakens 5% against the relevant currency.

b) | This is mainly attributable to the forward exchange contracts. |
- 72 -
c) | This is mainly attributable to the changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges |
For a 5% strengthening of the functional currency against the relevant currencies, there would be a comparable impact on the pre-tax profit or equity, and the balances above would be negative.
2) | Interest rate risk |
The carrying amount of the Company’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:
December 31 | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Fair value interest rate risk | ||||||||
Financial assets | $ | 21,270,570 | $ | 5,682,095 | ||||
Financial liabilities | 564,400 | 224,357 | ||||||
Cash flow interest rate risk | ||||||||
Financial assets | 4,625,384 | 10,609,392 | ||||||
Financial liabilities | 1,900,000 | 1,730,000 |
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. A 25 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit would increase/decrease by $6,318 thousand and $22,223 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This is mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to floating rates on its financial instruments and short-term and long-term loan.
3) | Other price risks |
The Company is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The management managed the risk through holding various risk portfolios. Further, the Company assigned finance and investment departments to monitor the price risk.
Equity price sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If equity prices of listed equity securities had been 5% higher/lower:
Other comprehensive income would increase/decrease by $195,711 thousand and $152,712 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale assets for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
- 73 -
b. | Credit risk |
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty would default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The maximum credit exposure of the aforementioned financial instruments is equal to their carrying amounts recognized in consolidated balance sheet as of the balance sheet date.
The Company serves a large consumer base, and the concentration of credit risk was limited.
c. | Liquidity risk |
The Company manages and contains sufficient cash and cash equivalent position to support the operations and reduce the impact on fluctuation of cash flow.
1) | Liquidity and interest risk tables |
The following tables detailed the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company is required to pay.
