  d. Explanation for the adjustments of IFRSs transition:

 

  1) Classification of investment property

Under ROC GAAP, property for lease were classified as property, plant and equipment and other assets; after transitions to IFRSs, owned-property for either rental revenue or capital appreciation should be classified as 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 of $8,592,569 thousand, and other assets - idle assets of $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 of $7,329,796 thousand, and other assets - idle assets of $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.

 

-13-


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.

 

  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 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 disposal of some revalued assets, unrealized revaluation increment reclassified to retained earnings was 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 was reduced by $117 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Due to disposal of some revalued assets and recognition of impairment loss of the revalued assets, unrealized revaluation increment reclassified to retained earnings was 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 was reduced by $350 thousand and impairment loss was 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 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 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 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 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 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 $586,739 thousand, $552,482 thousand and $723,045 thousand (including the tax effects of actuarial gains and losses from defined benefit plans of $265,099 thousand) as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; retained earnings increased by $577,886 thousand, $543,623 thousand and $711,292 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 $34,257 thousand in deferred tax assets and increased by $85 thousand in deferred income tax liabilities), income tax expense increased by $34,342 thousand. For the year ended December 31, 2012, due to the adjustment of deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities (decreased by $128,793 thousand in deferred tax assets and decreased by $21 thousand in deferred income tax liabilities), income tax expense increased by $128,772 thousand and other comprehensive income gains (the tax income related to other comprehensive income) increased by $265,099 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 IFRSs, the 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. Under IFRSs, the Company elected to recognize pension gains (losses) arising from defined benefit plans as other comprehensive income immediately and subsequent reclassification to earnings is not permitted.

Furthermore, under ROC GAAP, the prior service costs should be recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service life of active plan participants until the benefits become vested.

Under IFRSs, the newly-revised International Accounting Standard 19, “Employee Benefits” (“IAS 19”) required entities to accelerate the recognition of past service costs in profit or loss immediately. The Company earlier adopted the newly-revised IAS 19 from January 1, 2012.

As a result of the aforementioned adjustments, other liabilities increased by $1,511,528 thousand, $1,500,842 thousand and $2,045,207 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 $1,474,362 thousand, $1,476,640 thousand and $2,957,147 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, March 31, 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 $10,188 thousand in operating expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2012, pension cost decreased by $38,878 thousand which increased $169 thousand in operating costs and decreased $39,047 thousand in operating expenses and actuarial losses arising from defined benefit plans (classified as other comprehensive income) decreased by $1,538,849 thousand.

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 IFRSs.

 

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

Under ROC GAAP, there’s no relevant guidance about award credits. After the transition to 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 as the guidance replaced Chunghwa’s accounting policy that Chunghwa would accrue expenses when the award credits were granted.

Accrued award credits liabilities (classified as other current liabilities) were decreased by $70,036 thousand, $88,786 thousand and $120,863 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively; net deferred award credits revenue (classified as noncurrent liabilities - deferred revenue) were 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 were 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 was decreased by $9,976 thousand, the marketing expenses were decreased by $25,552 thousand and the operating cost was increased by $6,803 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The revenue was decreased by $47,817 thousand, the marketing expenses were decreased by $80,105 thousand and the operating cost was increased by $29,278 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

  8) Recognition of revenue from providing fixed line connection service

Prior to incorporation and 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. Upon incorporation, net assets greater than capital stock was credited as additional paid-in-capital. Part of additional paid-in-capital was from unearned revenues relating to connection fees as of that date. Upon privatization, unearned revenue generated from one-time connection fees was deferred at the time of service performed and recognized as revenue over time as the service is continuously performed in accordance with ROC GAAP.

Under 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.

 

-16-


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 year ended December 31, 2012, revenue from providing fixed line connection service increased by $639,708 thousand.

 

  9) Recognition of construction contract revenue

The construction contracts did not meet the criteria in IFRIC 15.11, therefore IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” did 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 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 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 were 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.

-17-


  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 instead 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.

  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 the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5 “Long-term Investments under Equity Method” under ROC GAAP, as since 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) Prepaid cards

Prior to incorporation and privatization, Chunghwa was subject to the laws and regulations applicable to state-owned enterprises in Taiwan which differed from ROC GAAP as applicable to commercial companies. As such, revenue from selling prepaid phone cards was recognized at the time of sale by Chunghwa. Upon incorporation, net assets greater than the capital stock was credited as additional paid-in-capital and part of the additional paid-in-capital was from the unearned revenues generated from prepaid cards as of that day. Upon privatization, unearned revenue generated from prepaid cards was deferred at the time of sale and recognized as revenue as consumed in accordance with ROC GAAP.

Under IFRSs, revenue from prepaid cards is deferred at the time of sale and recognized as revenue as consumed.

The amount of reclassification from additional paid-in capital to unappropriated earnings was $2,798,176 thousand as of January 1, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012.

  14) 10% tax on unappropriated earnings

In the Republic of China (“ROC”), a 10% tax is imposed on unappropriated earnings (excluding earnings from foreign consolidated subsidiaries). Under ROC GAAP, the Company records the 10% tax on unappropriated earnings in the year of stockholders’ approval.

Under IFRSs, the 10% tax on unappropriated earnings is accrued during the period the earnings arise and adjusted to the extent that distributions are approved by the stockholders in the following year.

  15) 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.
