INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, change in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based on our review.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements”, issued by the Auditing Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an audit opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and International Financial Reporting Standard 1, “First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to review such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the accountants’ review report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language accountants’ review report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

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 to as Chunghwa which continues to carry out the business and the DGT continues to be the industry regulator.

As the dominate 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 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 had been 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 had also been 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 Company use New Taiwan dollars as the functional currency. Since the Company is listed in Taiwan, the consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars in order to increase the comparability and consistency.

 

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2013.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On May 14, 2009, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) announced the “Framework for Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards by Companies in the ROC.” In this framework, starting 2013, companies with shares listed on the TWSE or traded on the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market or Emerging Stock Market should prepare their financial statements in accordance with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and the Interpretations as well as related guidance translated by Accounting Research and Development Foundation (ARDF) endorsed by the FSC (collectively, “Taiwan-IFRSs”).

The consolidated financial statements are the first Taiwan-IFRSs interim consolidated financial statements within the period covered by the first Taiwan-IFRSs annual consolidated financial statements prepared for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company’s date of transition to Taiwan-IFRSs is January 1, 2012, and the effect of the transition to Taiwan-IFRSs is disclosed in Note 44.

Statement of Compliance

The accompany consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, related laws and regulations, and IFRS 1, “First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards,” (IFRS 1) and IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting,” endorsed by the FSC. The consolidated financial statements do not present full disclosures required for a complete set of Taiwan-IFRSs annual consolidated financial statements.

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.

The opening balance sheet at the date of transition is prepared with the recognition and measurement required by IFRS 1. According to IFRS 1, the Company is required to apply each effective IFRS retrospectively in its opening balance sheet at the date of transition to Taiwan-IFRSs; except for optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions to such retrospective application provided under IFRS 1. The main optional exemptions the Company adopted are described in Note 44.

Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include cash and cash equivalents, and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to be realized, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. All other assets are classified as noncurrent. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date. All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

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. Assets and liabilities related to property development over its operating cycle are classified as noncurrent items.

Basis of Consolidation

 

  a. The basis for the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Chunghwa and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

 

-12-


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-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

The noncontrolling interests in the subsidiaries and the equity attributable to stockholders are presented separately.

Allocation comprehensive income to the noncontrolling interests

Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the noncontrolling interests even if it results in the noncontrolling 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 Company.

-14-


The following diagram presents information regarding the relationship and ownership percentages between Chunghwa and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013:

 

LOGO

Business Combination

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company, liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

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. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss when the transactions occur.

Foreign-currency nonmonetary assets or liabilities (such as equity instruments) that are carried at fair value are revalued using prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet date 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.

 

-15-


Chunghwa use New Taiwan dollars as the functional currency. For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each balance date. 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 are treasury bills, time deposits with maturities of less than three months, commercial paper and negotiable certificate of deposit. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

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. Prepayments for licensing and other miscellaneous costs have been capitalized as part of inventory.

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

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. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The operating results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Company also proportionately recognized the changes in the share of equity of associates.

When the Company subscribes for additional associate’s new shares 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. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus, with the balance charged to retained earnings.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of an associate recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included in the carrying amount of the investment and shall not be amortized.

When an indication of impairment is assessed with objective evidence, the impairment is recognized as a loss.

 

-16-


When a consolidated entity transacts with its associate, unrealized profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are deferred in proportion to Chunghwa’s ownership percentage in the associates until they are realized through transactions with third parties.

Jointly Controlled Entities

A jointly controlled entity is a contractual arrangement to set up another entity whereby the Company and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control.

The operating results and assets and liabilities of jointly controlled entities are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in a jointly controlled entity is initially recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the jointly controlled entity. The Company also recognized the changes in the share of equity of jointly controlled entity.

Property, Plant and Equipment

When future economic benefits are expected to inflow to the Company and costs can be evaluated reliably, property, plant and equipment that held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes for over one year are measured at costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.

Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of the assets less their residual values over their useful lives, and it is computed using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at least at the end of year, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, the related cost, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses are deducted from the corresponding accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

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 includes land held for a currently undetermined future use as such land is regarded as held for capital appreciation.

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.

The Company uses the straight line method to depreciate the assets, that is, to evenly allocate the cost less residual value over the expected useful lives of the investment properties.

Upon disposal of investment properties, the related cost, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses are deducted from the corresponding accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on a business combination is initially carried at cost at the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill arising on a business combination is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

 

-17-


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. If goodwill that allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units is acquired from the synergies of business combination, impairment test on those units or groups of units should be performed before the end of the same year. 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 for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

When the Company disposes of an operation within a cash-generating unit (group of units) to which goodwill has been allocated, the goodwill associated with that operation should be included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal; and measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit (group of units) retained.

Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at least at the end of year, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Except for the intangible assets to be disposed by the Company before the end of the useful lives, the residual value of intangible assets with finite useful lives are expected to be zero.

Upon disposal of intangible assets, the related cost, accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses are deducted from the corresponding accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill

When an indication of impairment is identified for tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Financial Instruments

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

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at 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.

 

-18-


  a. Financial assets

Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are accounted for using trade date accounting. The regular way of transaction means the purchase or sale of financial assets delivered within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

 

  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 measurement 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

Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity date that the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity other than those that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale and those that meet the definition of loans and receivables and on initial recognition. When the counterparties of the Company’s investments have good credit quality, all with certain credit rating or above and the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity, the investments are classified as held-to-maturity financial assets.

Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment.

Effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

 

  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.

Listed stocks, emerging market stocks, open-end mutual funds and corporate bonds held by the Company that are traded in an active market are classified as AFS and are stated at fair value at the end of each reporting period.

Changes in the carrying amount of AFS monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency 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 available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously is recognized in other comprehensive income reclassified to profit or loss.

 

-19-


AFS equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period.

The unlisted stocks which are not traded in an active market are classified as AFS financial assets by the Company. These financial assets are measured at cost, because the Company considered that the investments do not have a quoted market price in an active market whose fair value cannot be reliably measured.

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 are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be 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, such as held-to-maturity investments and accounts receivable, 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. However, since the discounted effect of short-term receivables is immaterial, the impairment loss is recognized on the difference between carrying amount and estimated future cash flow.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, 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.

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.

In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment losses 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.

For financial assets 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 is 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.

 

  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 and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

 

  c. Financial liabilities

 

  1) Subsequent measurement

Expect for financial liabilities at FVTPL, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

  2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable (includes the transfer of non-cash assets or assumption of liabilities) is recognized in profit or loss.

 

  d. Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to risk of foreign exchange rate and the fluctuation on stock price, including foreign exchange forward contracts, cross currency swap contracts and index future 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 the derivative is positive, it is recognized as a financial asset; otherwise, it is recognized as a financial liability.

Hedge Accounting

The Company designates certain derivative instruments as fair value hedges.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Company documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

 

-21-


Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognized in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the change in the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the line of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income relating to the hedged item.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Company revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting.

Provisions

Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations under sale of goods are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company’s obligation.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when they are realized or realizable and earned. Revenues are realized or realizable and earned when the Company has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the goods have been delivered or the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

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.

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 handsets in these arrangements are allocated and measured using units of accounting within the arrangement based on relative fair values limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of other items or services.

Services revenue is recognized when service provided.

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.

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.

 

-22-


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. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

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 entitling them to the contributions.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuations. Actuarial gain and loss arising from defined benefit retirement benefit plans is recognized in the other comprehensive income as incurred. 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 sheet 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.

The cost of providing benefit at the interim period is determined using the pension cost rate derived from the actuarial valuation at the end of prior year, and determined the adjustment of significant market fluctuation, curtailment, settlement or other one-time events.

Share-based Payments

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.

The value of the stock options granted, which is equal to the best available estimate of the number of stock options expected to vest multiplied by the grant-date fair value, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital - employee stock options. Expenses are recognized at the grant date in profit or loss if vested immediately.

At the balance sheet date, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, 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.

 

-23-


Taxation

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

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except for those relate to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity; in which cases, the relevant tax effects (current and deferred taxes) are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

 

  a. Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for currently taxable profit. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis. Interim period income tax expense is calculated by applying to an interim period’s pre-tax income and the tax rate that would be applicable to total annual earnings.

Income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings is recorded in the year of stockholders approval which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

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, research and development expenditures, and personnel training expenditures can be utilized.

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.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the balance sheet date, and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow. Unrecognized deferred tax is reviewed at the balance sheet date and raised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities 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.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which described in Note 3, the managements are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. 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.

 

  b. Provision for inventory valuation and obsolescence

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the selling unit price of inventories less all estimated marketing expense rate. Inventories write-downs are determined by item basis, except those similar items could be categorized into the same groups. The company uses the inventory holding period and turnover as the evaluation basis for inventory obsolete losses.

 

  c. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

The Company considered assets was impaired when there is objective evidence and the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. The estimate of recoverable amount would impact on the timing and the amount of impairment loss recogniztion.

 

  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 balance sheet date.

The Company entered into above currency swap contracts, forward exchange contracts and index future contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk and impacts in operating results due to fluctuations in exchange rates and stock prices. However, the aforementioned derivatives did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and were classified as financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading.

The convertible bonds owned by subsidiaries were hybrid financial instruments that were financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

The average credit terms range from 30 to 90 days. When determining the collectability of notes and accounts receivable, the Company considered that if there is any changes in the credit quality to the balance sheet date. In general, with few exceptional cases, it is unlikely for the notes and accounts receivable due longer than 180 days to be collected, the Company recognized 100% allowance of notes and accounts receivable longer than 180 days. For the notes and accounts receivable less than 180 days, the allowance for doubtful accounts were estimated based on historical recovery experience for doubtful accounts rate.

The Company serves a large consumer base, and therefore the concentration of credit risks is limited.

Chunghwa evaluated the results of procedures implemented to enhance the collection of account receivable as well as the experience of decreases in uncollected receivables, and decided to refine the estimates used in the allowance calculation which led to the reversal of allowance for doubtful accounts for the year ended December 31, 2012.

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 investment owned by the Company were carried at costs less any impairment losses at the balance sheet date.

Bank of Taiwan provided a performance guarantee for advance receipts from prepaid cards amounted to $1,072,833 thousand as of March 31, 2013.

 

27. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

 

  a. Defined contribution plans

The pension plan under the Labor Pension Act of ROC (the “LPA”) is considered as a defined contribution plan. Based on the LPA, Chunghwa and its domestic subsidiaries make monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages. Its foreign subsidiaries would make monthly contributions based on the local pension requirements.

The total expense recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income of $83,837 thousand and $62,443 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 represents contributions made to these plans by the Company.

 

  b. Defined benefit plans

Chunghwa completed privatization plans on August 12, 2005. Chunghwa is required to pay all accrued pension obligations including service clearance payment, lump sum payment under civil service plan, additional separation payments, etc. upon the completion of the privatization in accordance with the Statute Governing Privatization of Stated-owned Enterprises. After paying all pension obligations for privatization, the plan assets of Chunghwa should be transferred to the Fund for Privatization of Government-owned Enterprises (the “Privatization Fund”) under the Executive Yuan. On August 7, 2006, Chunghwa transferred the remaining balance of fund to the Privatization Fund. However, according to the instructions of MOTC, Chunghwa was requested to administer the distributions to employees for pension obligations including service clearance payment, lump sum payment under civil service plan, additional separation payments, etc. upon the completion of the privatization and recognized in other current monetary assets.

The Company’s pension plan is considered as a defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Law that provide benefits based on an employee’s length of service and average six-month salary prior to retirement. Chunghwa and its subsidiaries contribute an amount no more than 15% of salaries paid each month to their respective pension funds (the Funds), which are administered by the Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee (the Committee) and deposited in the names of the Committees in the Bank of Taiwan.

  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, 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 three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 stocks which was the closing market prices one day before shareholders’ meeting after taking into account the effects of ex-rights and ex-dividends.

When the Company appropriate the earnings generated before 2012, Rule 89 No. 100116 issued by the ministry of Financial R.O.C. and Rule No. 0950000507 issued by the FSC were followed and the special reserve was appropriated from reserve of the accounts with debit balances under stockholder’s equity. If there were any decrease of the aforementioned accounts of shareholders’ equity, the decreased amount could be reversed from the special reserve to retained earnings.

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 Company’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 Company.

The appropriations and distributions of the 2011 earnings of Chunghwa have been approved by the board of directors on April 30, 2013 and the appropriations of the 2010 earnings of Chunghwa approved by the stockholders on June 22, 2012 as follows:

There was no difference between the initial accrual amounts and the amounts resolved in shareholders’ meeting of the aforementioned bonuses to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors on June 22, 2012.

The Company’s distributable earnings, bonus distributed to the employees and remuneration paid to the directors and supervisors as of the end of the period were based on the accompanying consolidated financial statements of 2012 prepared in conformity with the per-revised Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC (“ROC GAAP”), and expected to be approved by the shareholders’ meeting on June 25, 2013.

Information of the appropriation of Chunghwa’s earnings, employees bonuses and remuneration to directors and supervisors resolved by the board of directors and approved by the stockholders is available on the Market Observation Post System website.

 

  d. Special reserves to be recognized for the first-time adoption of IFRS

Under Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012 and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, on the first-time adoption of IFRSs, an company should appropriate a special reserve of an amount the same as that of unrealized revaluation increment and cumulative translation differences (gain) transferred to retained earnings as a result of the Company’s use of exemptions under IFRS 1. However, at the date of transitions to IFRSs, if the increase in retained earnings that resulted from all IFRSs adjustments is not enough for this appropriation, only the increase in retained earnings that resulted from all IFRSs adjustments will be appropriated to special reserve. No appropriation of earnings shall be made until any shortage of the aforementioned special reserve is appropriated in subsequent years if the company has earnings and the original need to appropriate a special reserve is not eliminated.

The adjustments of IFRSs adoption resulted in the decrease of retained earnings of the Company; therefore, the Company is not required to appropriate any amount to the special reserve.

Imputation credit account

All Chunghwa’s earnings generated prior to June 30, 1988 have been appropriated.

 

     March 31,      December 31,      March 31,      January 1,  
     2013      2012      2012      2012

The estimated and the actual creditable ratios distribution of Chunghwa’s 2012 and 2011 for earnings were 19.33% and 17.63% respectively.

When the Company appropriated the earnings generated in and after 1998, the imputation credit allocated to local shareholders’ was based on the creditable rate of dividends distribution date. Since the imputation credit allocated to stockholders is based on its balance as of the date of dividend distribution, the estimated ratio may change when the actual distribution of imputation credit is made.

 

  d. Income tax examination

Chunghwa’s income tax returns have been examined by tax authorities through 2007. The following subsidiaries income tax returns have been examined by authorities through 2010: SENAO, CHPT, CHSI, SHE, CHIEF, CHI and LED. The following subsidiaries income tax returns have been examined by authorities through 2011: CHIYP, YYRP, Unigate and CHST.

According to the Interpretation 97-169 issued by ARDF in May 2008, Chunghwa presumed that the employees bonuses to be paid will be settled in shares and takes those shares into consideration when calculating the weighted average number of outstanding shares used in the calculation of diluted EPS if the shares have a dilutive effect. 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.

Each option is eligible to subscribe for one common share when exercisable. Under the terms of the 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 for 2007 Plan), 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 (2007 Plan is out of this exception), 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.

The board of SENAO resolved to authorize 10,000 thousand units of stock options on May 2, 2012. Each option is eligible to subscribe for one common share when exercisable. The aforementioned share-based compensation plan (2012 Plan) was effectively approved by FSC as of May 28, 2012. Under the terms of the 2012 Plan, 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 on the grant date. The 2012 Plan has 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 are valid for six years and based on the graded vesting schedule, 50% of option granted will vest two years after the grant date and another two tranches of 25% will vest three and four years after the grant date, respectively. As of April 29, 2013, SENAO has granted aforementioned options to employees.

 

  b. CHTP share-based compensation plan

CHTP granted 1,000 options to some of its employees in December 2008. Under the terms of CHTP Plan, each option entitles the holder to subscribe for one thousand common shares at $12.6 per share when exercisable. The options are valid for 5 years and based on the graded vesting schedule, two tranches of 30% of option will vest two and three years after the grant date, respectively, and the rest of 40% will vest four years after the grant date. There is exercise price adjustment formula upon the issuance of new common shares, capitalization of retained earnings and/or capital reserves, stock split, issuance of new shares in connection with mergers, issuance of global depositary receipts as well as distribution of cash dividends, except if the exercise price after adjustment exceeds the exercise price before adjustment.

  b. Financial instruments measured at fair value

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

 

  1) Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

-60-


  2) Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

 

  3) Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

  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 (includes listed stocks, emercing market stocks, convertible bonds, and open-end mutual funds). If such prices are not available, valuation techniques are adopted. Estimates and assumptions used in valuation techniques are consistent with the information used by market participants in determining the prices of financial instruments.

 

  2) The fair values of derivative instruments are calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, the value of the forward exchange and swap contracts were calculated based on the forward exchange rate on the maturity date quoted by the financial institutions seperately. Estimates and assumptions used in valuation techniques are consistent with the information used by market participants in determining the prices of financial instruments.

 

  3) Other financial assets - noncurrent is a Piping Fund administered by the Taipei City Government. The fair values of the Piping fund are calculated using the proportion of the net assets held by the Company.

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 reviewed 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.

The Company needs to report the significant risk exposures and related action plans for the risk regularly to the audit committee and the board of directors if needed.

 

  a. Market risk

The Company is exposed to market risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses currency swap and 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, currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit where the functional currency weakens 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% strengthening of the functional currency against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit, and the balances below would be negative.

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 profit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 would increase/decrease by $6,642 thousand. This is mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to floating rates on its financial instruments and short-term and long-term loan; and other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 would decrease/increase by $30 thousand, mainly as a result of the changes in the fair value of available-for-sale fixed rate instruments.

If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 would increase/decrease by $3,850 thousand. This is mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to floating rates on its financial assets and short-term and long-term borrowings; and other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 would decrease/increase by $151 thousand, mainly as a result of the changes in the fair value of available-for-sale fixed rate instruments.

  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 had been 5% higher/lower:

Other comprehensive income would increase/decrease by $306,321 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale assets for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Other comprehensive income would increase/decrease by $292,503 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale assets for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

  b. Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will 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 management

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 detail 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.

  d. Explanation for the adjustments of IFRSs transition:

 

  1) Classification of investment property

On January 1, 2012, the assets that met definitions of investment property under IAS 40 “Investment Property” were reclassified from property, plant and equipment of $8,596,664 thousand, and other assets - idle assets of $463,417 thousand, to investment property. The total amount of reclassification was $9,060,081 thousand. On March 31, 2012, the assets that met definition of investment property were reclassified from property, plant and equipment, $8,592,569 thousand, and other assets - idle assets, $463,417 thousand, to investment property. The total amount of reclassification was $9,055,986 thousand.

On December 31, 2012, the assets that met definition of investment property were reclassified from property, plant and equipment, $7,329,796 thousand, and other assets - idle assets, $459,102 thousand, to investment property. The total amount of reclassification was $7,788,898 thousand.

 

  2) Classification of leased assets and idle assets

Under ROC GAAP, leased and idle assets were classified as other assets; after the transition to IFRSs, leased and idle assets were reclassified to property, plant and equipment or investment property based on the nature of these assets.

The Company reclassified leased assets to property, plant and equipment and the amounts were $400,453 thousand, $397,724 thousand and $389,521 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Except for the abovementioned Item 1) which discussed the reclassification from idle assets to investment property, the Company reclassified the remaining idle assets to property, plant and equipment amounting to $436,619 thousand, $436,024 thousand and $415,479 thousand, as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

-78-


  3) Deemed costs of property, plant and equipment

The Company elected to apply the optional exemption in IFRS 1. The management measured land (classified as property, plant and equipment and investment property under Taiwan-IFRSs) at its revalued amount which was determined under ROC GAAP as deemed costs. On January 1, 2012, the Company reclassified the unrealized revaluation increment (classified as stockholders’ equity) to retained earnings and the amount was $5,762,753 thousand. This reclassification did not affect total equity. Due to the disposal of some assets and recognition of impairment loss of the revalued assets, unrealized revaluation increment reclassified to retained earnings decreased by $117 thousand, and unrealized revaluation increment as of March 31, 2012 was $5,762,636 thousand. As a result of the above adjustments, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment reduced by $117 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Due to the disposal of certain revalued assets and recognition of impairment loss of the revalued assets, unrealized revaluation increment reclassified to retained earnings decreased by $350 thousand and $2,054 thousand, respectively and unrealized revaluation increment as of December 31, 2012 was $5,760,349 thousand. As a result of the above adjustments, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment reduced by $350 thousand and impairment loss increased by $2,054 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

  4) Classification of deferred income tax asset and liability, and valuation allowance

Under ROC GAAP, a deferred income tax asset and liability should be classified as current and noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. When a deferred income tax asset and liability does not relate to an asset or liability, then it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled. However, under Taiwan-IFRSs, a deferred income tax asset and liability should be classified as noncurrent, and could not be offset. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on the same entity.

Under ROC GAAP, if it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized, the valuation allowances are provided to the extent. However, under Taiwan-IFRSs, deferred income tax assets are only recognized when it is more likely than not to be realized, and the valuation allowance is not used under Taiwan-IFRSs.

Based on the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the reserve for land value incremental tax caused by revaluation of land is classified as long-term liabilities. Under Taiwan-IFRSs, if the Company elects to apply the IFRS 1 exemption and measure the revalued land using the carrying amount determined under ROC GAAP as its deemed cost, the related reserve for land value incremental tax should be classified as deferred income tax liabilities.

The Company reclassified its deferred income tax assets - current to noncurrent assets and the amounts were $115,464 thousand, $110,998 thousand and $142,929 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Further, deferred income tax liabilities, which were netted with deferred income tax assets under ROC GAAP, were reversed. As a result of such reversal, deferred income tax liabilities - noncurrent and deferred income tax assets - noncurrent increased by $20,082 thousand, $10,263 thousand and $7,431 thousand, respectively, and reserve for land value incremental tax of $94,986 thousand was also reclassified as deferred income tax liabilities - noncurrent under Taiwan-IFRSs.

  5) Income tax

Based on IAS 12 “Income Taxes”, the income tax adjustments as a result of the transition to IFRSs are as follows: Deferred income tax assets increased by $596,271 thousand, $564,423 thousand and $731,560 thousand (including the tax effects of actuarial gains and losses from defined benefit plans of $254,446 thousand) as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; retained earnings increased by $587,418 thousand, $555,564 thousand and $719,807 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; noncontrolling interests increased by $8,853 thousand, $8,774 thousand and $11,774 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Deferred income tax liabilities increased by $85 thousand and decreased by $21 thousand as of March 31 and December 31, 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to the adjustment of deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities (decreased by $31,848 thousand in deferred tax assets and increased by $85 thousand in deferred income tax liabilities), income tax expense increased by $31,933 thousand. For the year ended December 31, 2012, due to the adjustment of deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities (decreased by $119,157 thousand in deferred tax assets and decreased by $21 thousand in deferred income tax liabilities), income tax expense increased by $119,136 thousand and other comprehensive income gains (the tax income related to other comprehensive income) increased by $254,446 thousand.

 

  6) Employee benefits

Under ROC GAAP, net transaction obligation that was resulted from the first time adoption of SFAS No. 18, “Pension” should be amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service life of active plan participants and recognized as net periodic pension cost. After the transition to Taiwan-IFRSs, transitional rules in IAS 19, “Employee Benefits” was not applicable, thus the related amounts of net transaction obligation should be recognized at once and adjusted in retain earnings.

Under ROC GAAP, actuarial gains (losses) are recognized based on the corridor approach and the amounts are amortized over the average remaining service life of active plan participants. However, under Taiwan-IFRSs, the Company elected to recognize pension gains arising from defined benefit plans as other comprehensive income immediately and subsequent reclassification to earnings is not permitted.

As a result of the aforementioned adjustments, other liabilities increased by $1,549,205 thousand, $1,548,040 thousand and $2,078,862 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; other noncurrent assets decreased by $14,524 thousand, $15,022 thousand and increased by $931 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; retained earnings decreased by $1,512,039 thousand, $1,511,838 thousand and $2,990,802 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; unrecognized net losses of pension decreased by $215 thousand, $215 thousand and $957,202 thousand as of January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; noncontrolling interests decreased by $51,905 thousand, $51,439 thousand and $44,331 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, pension cost decreased by $667 thousand in operating expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2012, pension cost was decreased by $793 thousand which increased $169 thousand in operating costs and decreased $962 thousand in operating expenses and actuarial losses arising from defined benefit plans (classified as other comprehensive income) decreased by $1,496,742 thousand.

 

-80-


In addition, prior to Chunghwa’s privatization in 2005, the pension contributions were made according to the relevant regulations. After privatization, the pension obligations of retained employees that were civil employees and retired employees entitled to receive future monthly pension payments prior to privatization based on the “Labor Pension Act”, “Act of Privatization of Government-Owned Enterprises”, and “Enforcement Rules of Statute of Privatization of Government-Owned Enterprises” were borne by the government. The settlement impact upon privatization of $20,648,078 thousand derived according to the actuarial report under IAS 19 shall be retroactively adjusted from retained earnings to additional paid-in capital - privatization at the date of transition to Taiwan-IFRSs.

 

  7) Award credits (often known as “points”)

Under ROC GAAP, there’s no relevant guidance about award credits. After the transition to Taiwan-IFRSs, Chunghwa applied IFRIC 13, “Customer Royalty Program” retroactively. The award credit should be measured at its fair value and defer the recognition of revenue. When the customers redeem the points, the related revenues and costs shall be recognized. The guidance replaced Chunghwa’s accounting policy that Chunghwa would accrue as expenses when the award credits were granted.

Accrued award credits liabilities (classified as other current liabilities) decreased by $70,036 thousand, $88,786 thousand and $120,863 thousand as of January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; deferred award credits revenue (classified as noncurrent liabilities - deferred revenue) increased by $24,242 thousand, $34,219 thousand and $72,059 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; retained earnings increased by $45,794 thousand, $54,567 and $48,804 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The revenue decreased by $9,977 thousand, the marketing expenses decreased by $25,552 thousand and the operating cost increased by $6,803 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The revenue decreased by $47,817 thousand, the marketing expenses decreased by $80,105 thousand and the operating cost increased by $29,278 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

  8) Recognition of revenue from providing fixed line connection service

Prior to privatization, according to the laws and regulations applicable to state-owned enterprises in Taiwan, Chunghwa recorded revenue from providing fixed line connection service at the time the service was performed. Under Taiwan-IFRSs, following the revenue recognition guidance, the above service revenue should be treated as deferred income and recognized over the time when the service is continuously provided.

Chunghwa retrospectively adjusted the deferred income of $1,925,816 thousand, $1,739,273 thousand and $1,286,108 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively, by decreasing retained earnings and increasing the deferred revenue from providing fixed line connection service ($639,708 thousand, $586,476 thousand and $185,366 thousand were classified as other current liabilities; $1,286,108 thousand, $1,152,797 thousand and $1,100,742 thousand were classified as noncurrent liabilities - deferred revenue as of January 1, March 31 and December 31, 2012, respectively). For the three months ended March 31, 2012, revenue from providing fixed line connection service increased by $186,543 thousand. For the year ended December 31, 2012, revenue from providing fixed line connection service increased by $639,708 thousand.

 

-81-


  9) Recognition of construction contract revenue

The construction contracts did not meet the criteria in IFRIC 15.11, therefore IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” does not apply. The Company could only recognize the revenues when the projects are completed and sold out based on IAS 18, “Revenue”. Due to the reasons mentioned above, the Company reversed the revenue that was recognized based on percentage completion method, and recognize the related revenue, cost and expense when the project is completed in 2012.

Inventories decreased by $392,040 thousand, $454,454 and nil as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; deferred marketing expenses (classified as other current assets) increased by $42,250 thousand, $48,978 thousand and nil as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; accrued expenses (classified as other current liabilities - accrued expense) decreased by $2,265 thousand, $2,626 thousand and nil of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; retained earnings were decreased by $347,525 thousand, $402,850 thousand and nil as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The construction revenue decreased by $110,995 thousand, the construction cost decreased by $48,581 thousand and the marketing expenses decreased by $7,089 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The construction revenue increased by $697,050 thousand, the construction cost increased by $305,009 thousand and the marketing expenses increased by $44,516 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

  10) Equity method investments

Associates and jointly controlled entities are accounted for using equity method upon the Company’s transition to IFRSs, the main adjustment includes employee benefit and share-based payments, etc. As a result, long-term investments decreased by $7,619 thousand, $9,246 thousand and $9,394 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; retained earnings decreased by $40,028 thousand, $40,483 thousand and $52,057 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; unrecognized net loss of pension decreased by $37,891 thousand, $37,891 thousand and $49,316 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; noncontrolling interests decreased by $5,482 thousand, $6,654 thousand and $6,653 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Investment income from associates and jointly controlled entities that accounted for using equity method decreased by $1,627 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Share of the profit of associates and jointly controlled entities that accounted for using equity method increased by $4,389 thousand and share of other comprehensive income of associates and jointly controlled entities accounted for using equity method decreased $17,589 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

  11) Share-based payment transactions

Part of the employee stock options granted by subsidiary was not vested on the transition date. Therefore, the subsidiary should apply IFRS 2, “Share-based Payment” retroactively. Under IFRSs, paid-in capital - employee stock option recognized by subsidiary does not belong to the equity attributable to parent company, instead it should be accounted as noncontrolling interests. As of January 1, 2012, retained earnings decreased by $1,657 thousand and noncontrolling interests increased by $1,657 thousand. As of March 31, 2012, retained earnings decreased by $1,657 thousand, and noncontrolling interests increased by $1,657 thousand. As of December 31, 2012, retained earnings decreased by $229 thousand, noncontrolling interests increased by $1,600 thousand and paid-in capital - equity in additional paid-in capital reported by equity-method investees decreased by $1,371 thousand. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the compensation cost under general and administrative expense decreased by $3,017 thousand.

 

-82-


  12) Subscription of associates/subsidiaries new shares and adjustments of paid-in capital reported related to equity-method investees

When an investee issues new shares and existing shareholders do not subscribe new shares at their respective proportion in share holdings, this would result in changes in the investor’s shareholdings of the equity method investee. According to SFAS No. 5 “Long-term Investments under Equity Method” under ROC GAAP, as there are changes in the net assets value of the equity method investee attributable to the investor, the investor shall reflect such changes by adjusting additional paid-in capital and long-term investments. However, under IFRSs, if the changes do not cause the investor to lose significant influence over associates, the change shall be treated as a deemed disposal with the related gain or loss recognized in earnings. If the changes do not cause the investor to lose control over subsidiaries, the change shall be treated as equity transactions. In addition, the Company complied with the IFRSs FAQs published by the Taiwan Stock Exchange, and reclassified the paid-in capital which did not meet the definitions under IFRSs or the Company Act and Regulations of Ministry of Economic Affairs to retained earnings. The Company reclassified such paid-in capital of $26,830 thousand as of January 1, 2012 to retained earnings. As of March 31, 2012, paid-in capital decreased by $2,042 thousand, retained earnings increased by $1,667 thousand, and long-term investment decreased by $375 thousand. As of December 31, 2012, paid-in capital decreased by $1,505 thousand, retained earnings increased by $1,236 thousand, and long-term investment decreased by $269 thousand. Gain on disposal of financial instruments increased by $1,236 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

  13) Presentation of consolidated balance sheets

 

  a) Piping fund

As part of the government’s effort to upgrade the existing telecommunications infrastructure project, Chunghwa and other public utility companies were required by the ROC government to contribute a total of $1,000,000 thousand to a Piping Fund administered by the Taipei City Government. Based on the terms of Construction Funding Agreement, if the Piping Fund project is considered to be no longer necessary by the ROC government, Chunghwa will receive back its proportionate share of the net equity of the Piping Fund upon its dissolution. In order to conform to the presentation of the financial statements under IFRSs, the fund was reclassified as other noncurrent assets.

 

  b) Time deposits and negotiable certificate of deposits with maturities of more than three months

Under ROC GAAP, cash and cash equivalents includes time deposits that are cancellable but without any loss of principal. Under IFRSs, cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Therefore, an investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

Time deposits and negotiable certificate of deposits with maturities of more than three months held by the Company were $40,982,360 thousand, $41,946,791 thousand and $22,263,840 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively. In order to conform to the presentation of the financial statements under IFRSs, such amounts were reclassified from cash to other monetary assets - current.

 

-83-
