Except for the following items, the Company believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs wouldnot have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact ofsignificant changes are as follows:

(i) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts, and the relevantinterpretations. The standard provides a single model for determining whether an entityrecognizes revenue in accordance with the method, timing and amount by applying the fivestep model. The Company adopt IFRS 15 in its consolidated financial statements using thecumulative effect approach. As a result, there is no need to reproduce the comparativeinformation in previous periods. The Company recognizes the cumulative effect upon theinitially application of this Standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retainedearnings on January 1, 2018.

The Company uses the practical expedients for completed contracts, which means it need notrestate those contracts that have been completed on January 1, 2018.

The following are nature and impacts on the changing of accounting policies:

(a) Sales of goods

Prior to the adoption of IFRS 15, for the sales of goods, revenue is currently recognizeddepending on the individual terms of the sales agreement. For export sales that areusually FOB shipping point, transfer occurs upon loading the goods onto the relevantcarrier at the port. For domestic sales, transfer occurs upon issuance of receipt by thecustomer. The related risks and rewards of ownership have to be transferred. Revenue isrecognized at this point provided that the revenue and costs can be measured reliably, therecovery of the consideration is probable and there is no continuing managementinvolvement with the goods. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when a customerobtains control of the goods.

(b) Rendering of services

The Company renders services to its customers. If the services under a singlearrangement are rendered in different reporting periods, then the consideration isallocated on a relative fair value basis between the different services. Revenue iscurrently recognized using the stage-of-completion method. Under IFRS 15, the totalconsideration in the service contracts will be allocated to all services based on theirstand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices will be determined based on thelist prices at which the Company sells the services in separate transactions.

(c) Impacts on financial statements

Except for the aforementioned differences, there were no other material differencesbetween the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and cash flows presentedunder the IFRS 15 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and cashflows presented under IAS 18 Revenue.

(ii) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement which containsclassification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment and hedge accounting.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, the Company adopted the consequential amendments toIAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements which requires impairment of financial assets to bepresented in a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensiveincome. Previously, the Company’s approach was to include the impairment of receivables inadministrative expenses. Additionally, the Company adopted the consequential amendments toIFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures that are applied to disclosures about 2018 butgenerally have not been applied to comparative information.

The detail of new significant accounting policies and the nature and effect of the changes toprevious accounting policies are set out below:

(a) Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities

IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured atamortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair valuethrough profit or loss (FVTPL). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 isgenerally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and itscontractual cash flow characteristics. The standard eliminates the previous IAS 39categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Under IFRS9, derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope ofthe standard are never bifurcated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole isassessed for classification. For an explanation of how the Company classifies andmeasures financial assets and accounts for related gains and losses under IFRS 9, pleasesee note 4(3).

(Continued)

The adoption of IFRS 9 did not have any a significant impact on its accounting policieson financial liabilities.

(b) Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 replaces the incurred loss model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking expectedcredit loss (ECL) model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measuredat amortized cost, contract assets and debt investments at FVOCI, but not to investmentsin equity instruments. For related accounting policies on impairment of financial assetsunder IFRS 9, please see note 4(3).

(c) Transition

The adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except as described below:

•Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets resulting from the adoption ofIFRS 9 are recognized in retained earnings and other equity interest as of January 1,2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 does not generally reflect therequirements of IFRS 9 and therefore is not comparable to the information presentedfor 2018 under IFRS 9.

•The following assessments have been made on the basis of the facts and circumstancesthat existed at the date of initial application.

－The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held.

－The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assetsand financial liabilities as measured at FVTPL.

－The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading asat FVOCI.

(d) Classification of financial assets on the date of initial application of IFRS 9

The following table shows the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and thenew measurement categories under IFRS 9 for each class of the Company’ s financialassets as of January 1, 2018. (the measurement categories and carrying amount offinancial liabilities have not changed.)

There were no other material differences on the Company’s financial assets under IFRS 9and IAS 39 as of January 1, 2018.

(iii) Amendments to IAS 7 Disclosure Initiative

The amendments require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate thechanges in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising fromcash flow and non-cash changes.

To satisfy the new disclosure requirements, the Company presents a reconciliation between theopening and closing balances for liabilities with changes arising from financing activities.Please refer to note 6(21).

(2) The impact of IFRS endorsed by FSC but not yet effective

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC andare effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 in accordance with Ruling No.1070324857 issued by the FSC on July 17, 2018:

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015–2017 Cycle January 1, 2019

Except for the following items, the Company believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs wouldnot have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact ofsignification changes are as follows:

(Continued)

6



(i) IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 replaces the existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determiningwhether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

IFRS 16 introduces a single and an on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. Alessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and alease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. In addition, the nature ofexpenses related to those leases will now be changed since IFRS 16 replaces the straight-lineoperating lease expense with a depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and interest expenseon lease liabilities. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. The lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard – i.e. the lessors willcontinue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

The Company has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact on its consolidatedfinancial statements, wherein the detailed assessment has yet to be completed. The actualimpact of applying IFRS 16 on its financial statements in the period of initial application willdepend on future economic conditions, including the Company’ s discounting rate, thecomposition of the Company’s lease portfolio at that date, the Company’s latest assessment ofwhether it will exercise any lease renewal options and the extent to which the Companychooses to use practical expedients and recognition exemptions.

So far, the most significant impact identified is that the Company will have to recognize itsnew assets and liabilities for its operating leases of offices.

Besides, The Company does not expect the adoption of IFRS 16 to have any impact on itsability to comply with the revised maximum leverage threshold loan covenant.

1) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

On transition to IFRS 16, the Company can choose to apply either of the following:

•apply the IFRS 16 definition of a lease to all its contracts; or

• a practical expedient that does not need any reassessment whether a contract is, orcontains, a lease.

The Company plans to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the definition of alease upon transition. This means that it will apply IFRS 16 to all contracts entered intobefore January 1, 2019 and identified as leases in accordance with IAS 17.

2) Transition

As a lessee, the Company can apply the standard using either of the following:

•retrospective approach; or

•modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients.

(Continued)

7



On January 1, 2019, the Company plans to initially apply IFRS 16 using the modifiedretrospective approach. Therefore, the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 will berecognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1,2019, with no restatement of comparative information.

When applying the modified retrospective approach to leases previously classified asoperating leases under IAS 17, the lessee can elect, on a lease-by-lease basis, whether toapply a number of practical expedients on transition. The Company is assessing thematerial impact of using these practical expedients.

(ii) IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

In assessing whether and how an uncertain tax treatment affects the determination of taxableprofit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits, as well as tax rates, an entityshall assume that a taxation authority will examine the amounts it has the right to examine andhave a full knowledge on all related information when making those examinations.

If an entity concludes that it is probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain taxtreatment, the entity shall determine the taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses,unused tax credits, as well as tax rates consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to beused in its income tax filings. Otherwise, an entity shall reflect the effect of uncertainty foreach uncertain tax treatment by using either the most likely amount or the expected value,depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of theuncertainty.

So far, the most significant impact identified is that the Company will have to recognize thenew income tax liabilities and income tax expense for its uncertainty over income taxtreatments.

(3) The impact of IFRSs issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but not yetendorsed by the FSC

As of the date, the following IFRSs that have been issued by the IASB, but have yet to be endorsedby the FSC:

A. Financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: measured at amortized cost andFVTPL.

The Company shall reclassify all affected financial assets only when it changes its businessmodel for managing its financial assets.

(Continued)

(a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditionsand is not designated as at FVTPL:

• it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collectcontractual cash flows; and

• its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely paymentsof principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value, plus anydirectly attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at amortizedcost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairmentlosses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment loss, arerecognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit orloss.

(b) Financial assets at FVTPL

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above aremeasured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate afinancial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or atFVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accountingmismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition.Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequentchanges that are measured at fair value, which take into account any dividend and interestincome, are recognized in profit or loss.

(c) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assetsmeasured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, otherfinancial assets and refundable deposits).

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for thefollowing which are measured as 12-month ECL:

• debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date；and

• other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of defaultoccurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increasedsignificantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for accounts receivable are always measured at an amount equal to lifetimeECL.

(Continued)

10



Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expectedlife of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possiblewithin the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of theinstrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual periodover which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantlysince initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable andsupportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. Thisincludes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-lookinginformation.

The Company considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating isequivalent to the globally understood definition of investment grade which is considered tobe BBB- or higher per Standard & Poor’s, Baa3 or higher per Moody’s or twA or higher perTaiwan Ratings.

The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly ifit is more than 90 days past due.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is morethan 180 days past due and the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to theCompany in full.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as thepresent value of all cash shortfalls. The difference between the cash flows due to theCompany in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects toreceive. ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the grosscarrying amount of the assets. The loss allowance is charged to profit or loss.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off either partially or in full to theextent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when theCompany determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that couldgenerate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However,financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in orderto comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

(d) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights of the cash flows from theassets expire, or when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership of the financial assets.

B. Derivative financial instruments

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interestrate exposures. Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value. Any attributable transactioncosts are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivativesare measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss and are includedin the line item of non-operating income and expenses. When the fair value of a derivativeinstrument is positive, it is classified as a financial asset, whereas when the fair value is negative,it is classified as a financial liability.

(4) Revenue from contract with customers (Applicable from January 1, 2018)

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled inexchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when itsatisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. Theaccounting policies for the Company’s main types of revenue are explained below.

A. Sale of goods

The Company’s main products included NAND Flash controller IC and Audio IC. The Companyrecognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products aredelivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell theproducts, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of theproducts. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risksof obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer hasaccepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions havelapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have beensatisfied.

B. Rendering of services

Some of the manufacturing and sales contracts of the Company include pre-production activitiessuch as researching, developing, designing and testing of new products. Revenue from providingservices is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of thereporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. The proportion of servicesprovided is determined based on the actual labor hours spent relative to the total expected laborhours of the transaction.

(Continued)

12



Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstanceschange. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profitor loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known bymanagement. In case of fixed-price contracts, the customer pays the fixed amount based on apayment schedule. If the services rendered by the Company exceed the payment, a contract asset(recorded in other current assets) is recognized. If the payments exceed the services rendered, acontract liability is recognized.

If the contract includes an hourly fee, revenue is recognized in the amount to which theCompany has a right to invoice. Customers are invoiced on a monthly basis and consideration ispayable when invoiced.

C. Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of thepromised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As aconsequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value ofmoney.

(5) Income tax

Income tax expense in the financial statements is measured and disclosed in according to paragraphB12 of IAS 34 endorsed by the FSC.

Income tax expense for the period is best estimated by multiplying pretax income for the interimreporting period by the effective annual tax rate as forecasted by the management. This is recognizedfully as income tax expense for the current period.

For a change in tax rate that is substantively enacted in an interim period, the effect of the changeshould immediately be recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

Temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reportingpurposes and their respective tax bases are measured based on the tax rates that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted at the time of the asset or liability is recovered or settled and recognizeddirectly in equity or other comprehensive income as income tax expense.

(6) Employee benefits

Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuariallydetermined pension cost rate at the reporting date of the prior fiscal year, adjusted for significantmarket fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significantone-off events.

5. Major Sources of Accounting Judgments, Estimations and Assumptions of Uncertainty

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRS(in accordance with IAS 34 endorsed by the FSC) requires management to make judgments, estimationsand assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets,liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimations.

(b) Sensitivity analysis

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreigncurrency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, receivables (includingaccounts receivable and receivables from related parties), accounts payable and otherpayables that are denominated in foreign currency.

A 1% depreciation or appreciation of the TWD against the USD as of September 30, 2018and 2017, would have decreased or increased the net loss by $479 and $350, respectively.This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Companyconsidered to be reasonably possible at the reporting date. The analysis assumes that allother variables remain constant.

The Company’ s realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) on the foreigncurrency monetary items using the functional currency of 3S were as follows:

For the three months ended September 30, For the nine months ended September 30,
