REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

 

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Chinese

 

 

To United Microelectronics Corporation

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United Microelectronics Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to issue the review report based on our reviews.  Certain investments, which were accounted for under the equity method based on the financial statements of the investees, were reviewed by other independent accountants.  Our review, insofar as it related to the investments accounted for under the equity method balances of NT$6,367 million and NT$4,026 million, which represented 1.73% and 1.22% of the total consolidated assets as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the related shares of investment income from the associates and joint ventures in the amount of NT$54 million, NT$(12) million, NT$72 million and NT$(21) million, which represented 2.97%, (0.23)%, 3.95% and (0.22)% of the consolidated income from continuing operations before income tax for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associates and joint ventures in the amount of NT$(304) million, NT$(594) million, NT$53 million and NT$(385) million, which represented (50.52)%, 128.81%, 54.53% and (11.50)% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, are based solely on the reports of other independent accountants.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statements of Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements” of the Republic of China.  A review is limited primarily to applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our reviews and the reports of other independent accountants, we are not aware of any material modifications or adjustments that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above in order for them to be in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standards No. 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” which is endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception

 

January 1, 2016

 

The potential effects of adopting the standards or interpretations issued by IASB and endorsed by FSC on the Company’s financial statements in future periods are summarized as below:

 

(1)   IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” (Amendment)

This amendment relates to the amendment issued in May 2011 and requires entities to disclose the recoverable amount of an asset (including goodwill) or a cash-generating unit (CGU) when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period.  The amendment also requires detailed disclosure of how the fair value less costs of disposal has been determined when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed, including valuation techniques used, level of fair value hierarchy of assets and key assumptions used in the measurements.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

 

10


 

 

 

(2)   IFRIC 21 “Levies”

This interpretation provides guidance on when to recognize a liability for a levy imposed by a government (both for levies that are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and those where the timing and amount of the levy is certain).  The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

 

(3)   IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (Amendment) - Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting

Under the amendment, there would be no need to discontinue hedge accounting if a hedging derivative was novated, provided certain criteria are met.  The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

 

(4)   IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”

The amendments require an entity to disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments.  The amendments also clarify that an entity shall only provide reconciliations of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets if the segment assets are reported regularly to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

 

(5)   IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

The amendment to the Basis for Conclusions of IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” (IFRS 13) clarifies that when deleting paragraph B5.4.12 of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments” (IFRS 9) and paragraph AG79 of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (IAS 39) as consequential amendments from IFRS 13, the IASB did not intend to change the measurement requirements for short-term receivables and payables.

 

(6)   IAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures”

The amendment clarifies that an entity providing key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity is a related party of the reporting entity.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

 

(7)   IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

The amendment clarifies that paragraph 52 of IFRS 13 includes a scope exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis.  The objective of this amendment is to clarify that this portfolio exception applies to all contracts within the scope of IAS 39 or IFRS 9, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

 

11


 

 

 

(8)   IFRS 11 “Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations” (Amendment)

The amendments require that the relevant principles on business combinations accounting in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (IFRS 3) and other standards should be applied in accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 with earlier application permitted.

 

(9)   IAS 16 and IAS 38 “Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation” (Amendment)

The amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment clarifies that depreciation of an item of property, plant and equipment based on revenue generated by using the asset is not appropriate.  The amendment to IAS 38 Intangible Assets establishes a rebuttable presumption that amortization of an intangible asset based on revenue generated by using the asset is inappropriate.  The presumption may only be rebutted in certain limited circumstances where the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue; or where it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 with earlier application permitted.

 

(10) IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” - “Disclosure Initiative” (Amendment)

The amendments (1) clarify that an entity must not reduce the understandability of its financial statements by obscuring material information with immaterial information or by aggregating material items that have different natures or functions.  The amendments reemphasize that, when a standard requires a specific disclosure, the information must be assessed to determine whether it is material and, consequently, whether presentation or disclosure of that information is warranted, (2) clarify that specific line items in the statement(s) of profit or loss and OCI and the statement of financial position may be disaggregated, and how an entity shall present additional subtotals, (3) clarify that entities have flexibility as to the order in which they present the notes to financial statements, but also emphasize that understandability and comparability should be considered by an entity when deciding on that order, (4) removing the examples of the income taxes accounting policy and the foreign currency accounting policy, as these were considered unhelpful in illustrating what significant accounting policies could be, and (5) clarify that the share of OCI of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method must be presented in aggregate as a single line item, classified between those items that will or will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

The potential effects of adopting the standards or interpretations issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by FSC on the Company’s financial statements in future periods are summarized as below:

 

(11) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

The core principle of IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (IFRS 15) is that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  IFRS 15 establishes a five-step model that will apply to revenue earned from a contract with a customer (with limited exceptions), regardless of the type of revenue transaction or the industry.  Extensive disclosures will be required, including disaggregation of total revenue; information related to performance obligations; changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgments and estimates.  The standard will apply to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.

 

13


 

 

 

(12) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

The IASB has issued the final version of IFRS 9, which combines classification and measurement, the expected credit loss impairment model and hedge accounting.  The standard will replace IAS 39 and all previous versions of IFRS 9.  The final completed version of IFRS 9 requires the followings: (1) Classification and measurement: Financial assets are measured at amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss, or fair value through other comprehensive income, based on both the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics.  Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss.  Furthermore, there is requirement that “own credit risk” adjustments are not recognized in profit or loss, (2) Impairment: Expected credit loss model is used to evaluate impairment.  Entities are required to recognize either 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, and (3) Hedge accounting: Hedge accounting is more closely aligned with risk management activities and hedge effectiveness is measured based on the hedge ratio.  The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

 

(13) IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Ventures (Amendment)

The amendments address the inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements” (IFRS 10) and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” (IAS 28), in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an associate or a joint venture.  IAS 28 restricts gains and losses arising from contributions of non-monetary assets to an associate or a joint venture to the extent of the interest attributable to the other equity holders in the associate or joint ventures.  IFRS 10 requires full profit or loss recognition on the loss of control of the subsidiary.  IAS 28 was amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full.  IFRS 10 was also amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.  The effective date of this amendment has been postponed indefinitely, but early adoption is allowed.

 

(14) IFRS 16 “Leases”

The new standard requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model (subject to certain exemptions).  Lessor accounting still uses the dual classification approach: operating lease and finance lease.  The Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

 

14


 

 

 

(15) IAS 12 “Income Taxes” - Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses

The amendment clarifies how to account for deferred tax assets for unrealized losses.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

 

(16) “Disclosure Initiative” - Amendment to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”

The amendment relates to changes in liabilities arising from financing activities and to require a reconciliation of the carrying amount of liabilities at the beginning and end of the period.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

 

(17) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Amendment)

The amendment clarifies how to identify a performance obligation in a contract, determine whether an entity is a principal or an agent, and determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or over time.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

 

(18) IFRS 2 “Share-based payment” (Amendment)

The amendment contains (1) clarifying that vesting conditions (service and non-market performance conditions), upon which satisfaction of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction is conditional, are not taken into account when estimating the fair value of the cash-settled share-based payment at the measurement date.  Instead, these are taken into account by adjusting the number of awards included in the measurement of the liability arising from the transaction, (2) clarifying if tax laws or regulations require the employer to withhold a certain amount in order to meet the employee’s tax obligation associated with the share-based payment, such transactions will be classified in their entirety as equity-settled share-based payment transactions if they would have been so classified in the absence of the net share settlement feature, and (3) clarifying that if the terms and conditions of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction are modified, with the result that it becomes an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, the transaction is accounted for as an equity-settled transaction from the date of the modification.  The equity-settled share-based payment transaction is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the modification date and is recognized in equity, on the modification date, to the extent to which goods or services have been received.  The liability for the cash-settled share-based payment transaction as at the modification date is derecognized on that date.  Any difference between the carrying amount of the liability derecognized and the amount recognized in equity on the modification date is recognized immediately in profit or loss.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the aforementioned standards and interpretations listed (11) ~ (18) to the Company’s financial position and performance, and the related impact will be disclosed when the evaluation is completed.

Note A: Beginning from June 2015, the Company accounts for its investment in FARADAY as an associate given the fact that the Company obtained the ability to exercise significant influence over FARADAY through representation on its Board of Directors.  As a result, the investment was revalued to fair value and reclassified out of the available-for-sale category as an investment in associate accounted for under the equity method.  Fair value remeasurement that was previously recognized in other comprehensive income was reclassified to profit or loss in the current period.

Note B: SHANDONG HUAHONG, WINAICO SOLAR PROJEKT 1 GMBH and WINAICO IMMOBILIEN GMBH are joint ventures to the Company.

Note C: The Company follows international accounting practices in equity accounting for limited partnerships and uses the equity method to account for these investees.

Note D: On March 10, 2011, MAP filed for liquidation through a decision at its stockholders’ meeting.  The liquidation was completed on December 3, 2015.

Note E:  On June 19, 2012, UNITED LIGHTING filed for liquidation through a decision at its stockholders’ meeting.  The liquidation was completed on November 23, 2015.

The carrying amount of investments accounted for using the equity method for which there are published price quotations amounted to NT$1,771 million, NT$1,795 million and NT$2,180 million, as of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.  The fair value of these investments were NT$1,156 million, NT$1,534 million and NT$2,166 million, as of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

 

Certain investments accounted for under the equity method were reviewed by other independent accountants.  Shares of profit or loss of these associates and joint ventures amounted to NT$54 million, NT$(12) million, NT$72 million and NT$(21) million for the three-month and six-momth periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Share of other comprehensive income (loss) of these associates and joint ventures amounted to NT$(304) million, NT$(594) million, NT$53 million and NT$(385) million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The balances of investments accounted for under the equity method were NT$6,367 million, NT$4,142 million and NT$4,026 million as of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

A.   On May 24, 2011, UMC issued SGX-ST listed currency linked zero coupon convertible bonds.  The terms and conditions of the bonds are as follows:

 

a.   Issue Amount: US$500 million

b.   Period: May 24, 2011 ~ May 24, 2016 (Maturity date)

c.   Redemption:

 

31


 

 

i.    UMC may redeem the bonds, in whole or in part, after 3 years of the issuance and prior to the maturity date, at the principal amount of the bonds with an interest calculated at the rate of -0.25% per annum (the Early Redemption Amount) if the closing price of UMC’s ADS on the New York Stock Exchange, for a period of 20 out of 30 consecutive ADS trading days, the last of which occurs not more than 5 ADS trading days prior to the date upon which notice of such redemption is published, is at least 130% of the conversion price.  The Early Redemption Price will be converted into NTD based on the Fixed Exchange Rate (NTD 28.846=USD 1.00), and this fixed NTD amount will be converted using the prevailing rate at the time of redemption for payment in USD.

ii.   UMC may redeem the bonds, in whole, but not in part, at the Early Redemption Amount if at least 90% in principal amount of the bonds has already been converted, redeemed or repurchased and cancelled.

iii.  UMC may redeem all, but not part, of the bonds, at the Early Redemption Amount at any time, in the event of certain changes in the R.O.C.’s tax rules which would require UMC to gross up for payments of principal, or to gross up for payments of interest or premium.

iv.  All or any portion of the bonds will be redeemable at Early Redemption Amount at the option of bondholders on May 24, 2014 at 99.25% of the principal amount.

v.   Bondholders have the right to require UMC to redeem all of the bonds at the Early Redemption Amount if UMC’s ADS cease to be listed or admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or UMC’s ordinary shares cease to be listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

vi.  In the event that a change of control as defined in the indenture of the bonds occurs to UMC, the bondholders shall have the right to require UMC to redeem the bonds, in whole but not in part, at the Early Redemption Amount.

d.   Terms of Conversion:

i.    Underlying Securities: ADS of UMC

ii.   Conversion Period: The bonds are convertible at any time on or after July 4, 2011 and prior to May 14, 2016, into UMC’s ADS; provided, however, that if the exercise date falls within 8 business days from the beginning of, and during, any closed period, the right of the converting holder of the bonds to vote with respect to the ADS it receives will be subject to certain restrictions.

iii.  Conversion Price and Adjustment: The conversion price was originally USD 3.77 per ADS, determined on the basis of a Fixed Exchange Rate of NTD 28.846=USD 1.00.  The conversion price will be subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events set out in the indenture.

 

32


 

 

e.   Early Redemption of the Bonds:

UMC redeemed bonds with principal amount of US$324 million as requested by investors on May 27, 2014.  The associated convertible rights were deemed cancelled and the consideration paid for the early redemption was fully allocated to the liability components.  UMC adjusted the carrying amount of the liability components to reflect actual consideration paid and recognized a loss amount to NT$194 million as non-operating income and expenses.  UMC reclassified cancelled convertible rights of NT$441 million from additional paid-in capital – stock options to additional paid-in capital – others.

 

As bondholders’ redemption and UMC’s repurchases of bonds from open market in prior year amounted to US$466 million, which represented over 90% principal being redeemed; therefore, UMC redeemed the remaining bonds in whole at the Early Redemption Price on June 27, 2014.  The principal amount of the redeemed bonds was US$34 million.  UMC recognized a gain of NT$15 million from the redemption as non-operating income and expense.

 

In accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation” (IAS 32), the value of the conversion right of the convertible bonds was determined at issuance and recognized in additional paid-in capital – stock options amounting to NT$680 million, after reduction of issuance costs amounting to NT$3 million.  The effective interest rate on the liability component of the convertible bonds was determined to be 0.82%.

 

B.   In early June, 2012, UMC issued a five-year and a seven-year domestic unsecured corporate bonds amounting to NT$10,000 million, with a face value of NT$1 million per unit.  The five-year domestic unsecured corporate bond was issued in the amount of NT$7,500 million.  Interest will be paid annually at a rate of 1.43%, and the principal will be repayable in June 2017 upon maturity.  The seven-year domestic unsecured corporate bond was issued in the amount of NT$2,500 million.  Interest will be paid annually at a rate of 1.63%, and the principal will be repayable in June 2019 upon maturity.

 

C.   In mid-March, 2013, UMC issued five-year and seven-year domestic unsecured corporate bonds amounting to NT$10,000 million, with a face value of NT$1 million per unit.  The five-year domestic unsecured corporate bond was issued in the amount of NT$7,500 million.  Interest will be paid annually at a rate of 1.35%, and the principal will be repayable in March 2018 upon maturity.  The seven-year domestic unsecured corporate bond was issued in the amount of NT$2,500 million.  Interest will be paid annually at a rate of 1.50%, and the principal will be repayable in March 2020 upon maturity.

 

D.   In mid-June, 2014, UMC issued seven-year and ten-year domestic unsecured corporate bonds amounting to NT$5,000 million, with a face value of NT$1 million per unit.  The seven-year domestic unsecured corporate bond was issued in the amount of NT$2,000 million.  Interest will be paid annually at a rate of 1.70%, and the principal will be repayable in June 2021 upon maturity.  The ten-year domestic unsecured corporate bond was issued in the amount of NT$3,000 million.  Interest will be paid annually at a rate of 1.95%, and the principal will be repayable in June 2024 upon maturity.

a.   Issue Amount: US$600 million

b.   Period: May 18, 2015 ~ May 18, 2020 (Maturity date)

c.   Redemption:

i.    UMC may redeem the bonds, in whole or in part, after 3 years of the issuance and prior to the maturity date, at the principal amount of the bonds with an interest calculated at the rate of -0.25% per annum (the Early Redemption Amount) if the closing price of the ordinary shares of UMC on the TWSE, for a period of 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, the last of which occurs not more than 5 days prior to the date upon which notice of such redemption is published, is at least 125% of the conversion price.  The Early Redemption Price will be converted into NTD based on the Fixed Exchange Rate (NTD 30.708=USD 1.00), and this fixed NTD amount will be converted using the prevailing rate at the time of redemption for payment in USD.

ii.   UMC may redeem the bonds, in whole, but not in part, at the Early Redemption Amount if at least 90% in principal amount of the bonds has already been converted, redeemed or repurchased and cancelled.

iii.  UMC may redeem all, but not part, of the bonds, at the Early Redemption Amount at any time, in the event of certain changes in the R.O.C.’s tax rules which would require UMC to gross up for payments of principal, or to gross up for payments of interest or premium.

iv.  All or any portion of the bonds will be redeemable at Early Redemption Amount at the option of bondholders on May 18, 2018 at 99.25% of the principal amount.

i.    Underlying Securities: Ordinary shares of UMC

ii.   Conversion Period: The bonds are convertible at any time on or after June 28, 2015 and prior to May 8, 2020, into UMC ordinary shares; provided, however, that if the exercise date falls within 5 business days from the beginning of, and during, any closed period, the right of the converting holder of the bonds to vote with respect to the shares it receives will be subject to certain restrictions.

iii.  Conversion Price and Adjustment: The conversion price was originally NT$17.50 per share.  The conversion price will be subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events set out in the indenture.  The conversion price was NT$16.7408 per share on June 30, 2016.

e.   Redemption on the Maturity Date: On the maturity date, UMC will redeem the bonds at 98.76% of the principal amount unless, prior to such date:

i.    UMC shall have redeemed the bonds at the option of UMC, or the bonds shall have been redeemed at option of the bondholder;

ii.   The bondholders shall have exercised the conversion right before maturity; or

iii.  The bonds shall have been redeemed or repurchased by UMC and cancelled.

40


 

 

 

Because UMC is within a capital intensive industry and continues to operate in its growth phase, the dividend policy of UMC shall be determined pursuant to the factors, such as the investment environment, capital requirement, domestic and overseas competition environment and capital budget of UMC current or future, as well as stockholders interest, balance of dividend and long term financial plan of UMC.  The Board of Directors shall propose the distribution plan and submit to the stockholders’ meeting every year.  The distribution of stockholders dividend shall be allocated as cash dividend in the range of 20% to 100%, and stock dividend in the range of 0% to 80%.

 

According to the regulations of Taiwan FSC, UMC is required to appropriate a special reserve in the amount equal to the sum of debit elements under equity, such as unrealized loss on financial instruments and negative cumulative translation adjustment, at every year-end.  Such special reserve is prohibited from distribution.  However, if any of the debit elements is reversed, the special reserve in the amount equal to the reversal may be released for earnings distribution or offsetting accumulated deficit.

 

The distributions of earnings for 2015 and 2014 were approved through the stockholders’ meeting held on June 7, 2016 and June 9, 2015, respectively.  The details of distribution are as follows:

(17) Employee Stock Options

 

On May 12, 2009, the Company was authorized by the Securities and Futures Bureau of FSC, to issue employee stock options with a total number of 500 million units each.  Each unit entitled an optionee to subscribe to 1 share of the Company’s common stock.  Settlement upon the exercise of the options would be made through the issuance of new shares by the Company.  The exercise prices of the options were set at the closing prices of the Company’s common stock on the dates of grant.  The contractual lives were 6 years and an optionee might exercise the options in accordance with certain schedules as prescribed by the plans after 2 years from the dates of grant.  All employee stock options expired on June 18, 2015.

 

     A summary of the Company’s stock option plan and related information for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 is as follows:

     All employee stock options expired on June 18, 2015.  Therefore, both total number of options outstanding and shares exercisable to option holders were zero.

 

The weighted-average share price at the date of exercise of employee stock options for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 was NT$14.95.

 

     Effective 2008, the compensation expenses related to the Company’s compensatory employee stock option plan were calculated based on fair value.  The compensation expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 were NT$1 million and NT$1 million, respectively.

 

The fair value of the aforementioned options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions.  The assumptions after the adoption of IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment” to account for share-based payments were as follows:

 

Items

 

Factors

Expected dividend yields

 

1.98%

Volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock

 

40.63%

Risk-free interest rate

 

1.01%

Weighted-average expected life

3.16~5.03 years

 

The aforementioned expected volatility reflects that the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the option is indicative of future trends.  The expected option life is based on the historical data of periods for previously granted options.  The expected dividend yield is based on historical dividend yield.  The risk-free interest rate is based on average interest rate for Taiwan Government Bond over a period similar to the life of the option.  The estimates used to calculate the fair value of employee stock option cannot predict future events that are likely to occur or the final amounts employees will benefit from these options.  In addition, future events will not affect the reasonableness of the initial calculation for fair value for the stock options.  The compensation expenses for the stock options will be adjusted annually for the changes in expected forfeiture rates, with the effects recognized in the current period.

In consideration of the revision of the Company Act in May 2015, the stockholders’ meeting resolved the amendment of UMC’s Articles of Incorporation on June 7, 2016.  According to the amendment of UMC’s Articles of Incorporation, the employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration shall be distributed in the following order:

 

UMC shall allocate no less than 5% of profit as employees’ compensation and no more than 0.1% of profit as directors’ compensation for each profitable fiscal year.  However, UMC's accumulated losses shall be reserved.  The employees’ compensation under the preceding paragraph will be entitled to receive shares or cash.  The employees of UMC’s subsidiaries who fulfill specific requirements finalized by the Board of Directors may be granted such compensation.  Directors may only receive compensation in cash.  UMC may, by a resolution adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of the Board of Directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors, distribute employees’ and director’s compensation in the preceding two paragraphs and report to the stockholders’ meeting for such distribution.

 

45


 

 

 

The distributions of employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors for 2015 have followed the aforementioned amendment of the UMC’s articles.

 

The Company estimates the amounts of the employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and recognizes them in the profit or loss during the periods when earned for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.  The Board of Directors estimated the amount by taking into consideration the proposed amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, government regulations and industry averages.  If the Board of Directors resolves to distribute employee compensation through stock, the number of stock distributed is calculated based on total employee compensation divided by the closing price of the day before the Board of Directors meeting.  If the Board of Directors subsequently modifies the estimates significantly, the Company will recognize the change as an adjustment in the profit or loss in the subsequent period.  The difference between the estimation and the resolution of the stockholders’ meeting will be recognized in profit or loss in the subsequent year.

 

The distributions of employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors for 2015 and 2014 were approved through the stockholders’ meeting held on June 7, 2016 and June 9, 2015, respectively.  The details of information are as follows:

(24) Earnings Per Share

 

a.  Earnings per share-basic

 

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent company by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.  The reciprocal stockholding held by subsidiaries are deducted from the computation of weighted-average number of shares outstanding.

$0.68

 

b. Earnings per share-diluted

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking basic earnings per share plus the effect of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive share equivalents had been issued.  The net income attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent company would be also adjusted for the interest and other income or expenses derived from any underlying dilutive share equivalents, such as convertible bonds.  For employees’ compensation that may be distributed in shares, the number of shares to be distributed is taken into consideration assuming the distribution will be made entirely in shares when calculating diluted earnings per share.  Additionally, the dilutive effect of outstanding employee options generally should be reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of treasury stock method.  The “assumed proceeds” include the exercise price of the options and the average measured but unrecognized compensation expense during the period.

(2)   Financial risk management objectives and policies

 

64


 

 

 

The Company’s risk management objectives are to manage the market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activities.  The Company identifies, measures and manages the aforementioned risks based on policy and risk preference.

 

The Company has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for financial risk management.  Before entering into significant financial activities, approval process by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee must be carried out based on related protocols and internal control procedures.  The Company complies with its financial risk management policies at all times.

 

(3)   Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.  Market risks comprise currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk (such as equity price risk).

 

Foreign currency risk

The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency) and the Company’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries.

 

The Company applies natural hedges on the foreign currency risk arising from purchases or sales, and utilizes spot or forward exchange contracts to avoid foreign currency risk and the net effect of the risks related to monetary financial assets and liabilities is minor.  The notional amounts of the foreign currency contracts are the same as the amount of the hedged items.  In principle, the Company does not carry out any forward exchange contracts for uncertain commitments.  Furthermore, as net investments in foreign subsidiaries are for strategic purposes, they are not hedged by the Company.

 

The foreign currency sensitivity analysis of the possible change in foreign exchange rates on the Company’s profit is performed on significant monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as of the end of the reporting period.  When NTD strengthens/ weakens against USD by 10%, the profit for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 decreases/increases by NT$268 million and NT$769 million, respectively.

 

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from borrowing at floating interest rates.  All of the Company’s bonds have fixed interest rates and are measured at amortized cost.  As such, changes in interest rates would not affect the future cash flows.  On the other hand, as the interest rates of the Company’s short-term and long-term bank loans are floating, changes in interest rates would affect the future cash flows but not the fair value.  Please refer to Note 6(10), 6(12) and 6(13) for the range of interest rate of the Company’s bonds and bank loans.

 

65


 

 

 

At the reporting dates, a change of 10 basis points of interest rate in a reporting period could cause the profit for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 to decrease/increase by NT$16 million and NT$7 million, respectively.

 

Equity price risk

The Company’s listed and unlisted equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future performance of equity markets.  The Company’s listed equity investments are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets, while unlisted equity securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets which are subsequently measured using a valuation model and financial assets measured at cost.

 

The sensitivity analysis for the equity instruments is based on the change in fair value as of the reporting date.  A change of 5% in the price of the aforementioned financial assets at fair value through profit or loss could increase/decrease the Company’s profit for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 by NT$18 million and NT$16 million, respectively.  A change of 5% in the price of the aforementioned available-for-sale financial instrument could increase/decrease the Company’s other comprehensive income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 by NT$1,124 million and NT$1,174 million, respectively.

 

(4)   Credit risk management

 

The Company only trades with approved and creditworthy third parties.  Where the Company trades with third parties which have less favorable financial positions, it will request collateral from them.  It is the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures.  In addition, notes and accounts receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis, which consequently minimizes the Company’s exposure to bad debts.

 

The Company mitigates the credit risks from financial institutions by limiting its counter parties to only reputable domestic or international financial institutions with good credit standing and spreading its holdings among various financial institutions.  The Company’s exposure to credit risk arising from the default of counter-parties is limited to the carrying amount of these instruments.

 

66


 

 

 

As of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, accounts receivables from the top ten customers represent 75%, 58% and 59% of the total accounts receivables of the Company, respectively.  The credit concentration risk of other accounts receivables is insignificant.

 

(5)   Liquidity risk management

 

The Company’s objectives are to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash and cash equivalents, bank loans and bonds.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

 

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

 

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

 

68


 

 

 

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

 

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

 

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

 

Level 1    Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2    Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;

Level 3    Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

 

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets that are categorized into level 1 are based on the quoted market prices in active market.  If there is no active market, the Company estimates the fair value by using the market method valuation techniques based on parameters such as recent fund raising activities, valuation of similar companies, individual company’s development, market conditions and other economic indicators.  If there are restrictions on the sale or transfer of an available-for-sale financial asset, which are a characteristic of the asset, the fair value of the asset will be determined based on similar but unrestricted financial assets’ quoted market price with appropriate discounts for the restrictions.

Recognized as part of profit (loss) above, the loss from financial assets still held by the Company as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 were NT$77 million and NT$8 million, respectively.

 

Recognized as part of other comprehensive income (loss) above, the income from financial assets still held by the Company as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 were NT$558 million and NT$144 million, respectively.

 

The Company’s policy to recognize the transfer into and out of fair value hierarchy levels is based on the event or changes in circumstances that caused the transfer.

 

b.  Assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis but for which fair value is disclosed:

 

The fair value of bonds payables is estimated by the market price or estimated using valuation model.  The model uses market-based observable inputs including share price, volatility, credit spread and risk-free interest rates.  The fair value of long-term loans is determined using discounted cash flow model, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates of similar loans.

 

The fair values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, refundable deposits, other financial assets-current, short-term loans, payables and capacity deposits approximate their carrying amount due to their maturities within one year.

(10) Capital management

 

The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios to support its business and maximize the stockholders’ value.  The Company also ensures its ability to operate continuously to provide returns to stockholders and the interests of other related parties, while maintaining the optimal capital structure to reduce costs of capital.

 

To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to stockholders, return capital to stockholders, issue new shares or dispose assets to redeem liabilities.

 

Similar to its peers, the Company monitors its capital based on debt to capital ratio.  The ratio is calculated as the Company’s net debt divided by its total capital.  The net debt is derived by taking the total liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets minus cash and cash equivalents.  The total capital consists of total equity (including capital, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings, other components of equity and non-controlling interests) plus net debt.

 

The Company has maintained the same capital management strategy for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, which is to maintain a reasonable ratio in order to raise capital with reasonable cost.  The debt to capital ratios as of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 were as follows:
