INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ 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, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Notice to Readers

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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ review report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013

(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

(Reviewed, Not Audited)

 

 

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 dominant telecommunications service provider of domestic and international fixed-line, Global System for Mobile Communications (“GSM”), and Third Generation (“3G”) in the ROC, Chunghwa is subject to additional regulations imposed by ROC.

Effective August 12, 2005, the MOTC had completed the process of privatizing Chunghwa by reducing the government ownership to below 50% in various stages. In July 2000, Chunghwa received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (the “SFC”) for a domestic initial public offering and its common shares were listed and traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (the “TWSE”) on October 27, 2000. Certain of Chunghwa’s common shares were sold, in connection with the foregoing privatization plan, in domestic public offerings at various dates from August 2000 to July 2003. Certain of Chunghwa’s common shares were also sold in an international offering of securities in the form of American Depository Shares (“ADS”) on July 17, 2003 and were listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The MOTC sold common shares of Chunghwa by auction in the ROC on August 9, 2005 and completed the second international offering on August 10, 2005. Upon completion of the share transfers associated with these offerings on August 12, 2005, the MOTC owned less than 50% of the outstanding shares of Chunghwa and completed the privatization plan.

Chunghwa together with its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to collectively as “the Company”.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Chunghwa’s functional currency, New Taiwan dollars.

 

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were reported to the Board of Directors on May 13, 2014.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. The Company owns 28% equity shares of SENAO. However, the Company has four out of seven seats of the board of directors of SENAO through the support of large beneficial shareholders. Therefore, the Company has control over SENAO and the accounts of SENAO are included in the consolidated financial statements. The decrease of the Company’s equity ownership of SENAO was due to the exercise of options by SENAO’s employees. The Company owned 28.24%, 28.18% and 28.18% equity shares of SENAO as of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively.
b. Chunghwa established 100% owned subsidiary of HHR in January 2013.
c. The decrease of the Company’s equity ownership of CHPT was due to the exercise of options by CHPT’s employees and CHPT issued employee stock bonus. The Company owned 51.06%, 50.62% and 50.62% equity shares of CHPT as of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively.
d. CHPT established 100% owned subsidiary of CHPT (JP) in January 2013.

Retirement Benefit Costs

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing retirement benefit in the interim period is determined using the pension cost rate derived from the actuarial valuation at the end of prior year, adjusted for significant market fluctuation, curtailment, settlement or other one-time events.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. 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 expected total annual earnings.

 

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the managements are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which are based on historical experience and other factors that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The same critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty of consolidated financial statements have been followed in these consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

(Concluded)

 

  Note: Unless stated otherwise, the above new, revised or amended standards or interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after the respective effective dates.

Except for the following, the application of aforementioned 2013 Taiwan-IFRSs version has not had any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

 

  1) IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”

IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in the current standards. The Company will apply the new disclosure requirements of IFRS 12 in 2015.

 

  2) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and related disclosures. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

The Company will apply IFRS 13 prospectively in 2015.

 

  3) Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”

The amendments to IAS 1 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those that (1) will not be reclassified to profit or loss; and (2) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Previously, there were no such requirements.

The Company will apply the amendments to IAS 1 in 2015. The items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss are expected to include actuarial gains or losses from defined benefit plans, the share of actuarial gains or losses from defined benefit plans of associates and jointly controlled entities as well as the related income tax on such items. Items that will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss are expected to include exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations, changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets, the share of other comprehensive income of associates and jointly controlled entities as well as the related income tax on items of other comprehensive income (except for the share of actuarial gains or losses from defined benefit plans of associates and jointly controlled entities).

 

- 17 -


  4) Amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

The amendments to IAS 19 change the accounting for defined benefit plans, which require the Company to recognize changes in defined benefit obligations or assets and to disclose the components of the defined benefit costs. According to the amendments, the past service cost, will be expensed immediately when it incurs and no longer be amortized over the average period before vested on a straight-line basis. In addition, the amendment also requires a broader disclosure in defined benefit plans.

When the Company applies the amendments to IAS 19 in 2015, employee benefits will be recognized based on actuarial calculations in accordance with IAS 19. The Company anticipates that as of March 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014, deferred tax assets will be retrospectively restated to decrease by $8,808 thousand and $9,082 thousand, respectively; accrued pension liabilities will be retrospectively restated to decrease by $34,814 thousand and $35,898 thousand, respectively; retained earnings will be retrospectively restated to increase by $22,704 thousand and $23,472 thousand, respectively; noncontrolling interests will be retrospectively restated to increase by $3,302 thousand and $3,344 thousand, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, pension cost will increase by $1,084 thousand which increase in operating expenses, and income tax expenses will decrease by $274 thousand.

Except for the abovementioned impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuingly assessing the possible impact that the application of the 2013 Taiwan-IFRSs version will have on the Company’s financial position and operating result, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is complete.

 

  b. The IFRSs issued by IASB but not endorsed by FSC

The Company has not applied the following IFRSs issued by the IASB but not endorsed by the FSC. As of the date that the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the initial adoption to the following standards and interpretations is still subject to the effective date to be published by the FSC.

  Note 3: IASB tentatively determined the effective date as January 1, 2018.

Except for the following, the initial application of the above new standards and interpretations have not had any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

 

  1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are to be subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at the balance sheet date. However, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss.

Hedge accounting

The main changes in hedge accounting amended the application requirements for hedge accounting to better reflect the entity’s risk management activities. Compared with IAS 39, the main changes include: (1) enhancing types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the risk eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way hedging derivative instruments are accounted for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness assessment with the principle of economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.

The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9, which was previously set on January 1, 2015, was removed and will be reconsidered once the standard is complete with a new impairment model and finalization of any limited amendments to classification and measurement.

 

  2) Amendments to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets”

In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made some consequential amendments to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that the disclosure of such recoverable amount is required during the period when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed. Furthermore, the Company is required to disclose the discount rate used in current and previous measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.

 

- 19 -


  3) Amendments to IAS 39 “Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting”

The amendments to IAS 39 provide an exception to the requirement for the discontinuation of hedge accounting. The amendment states that the novation of a hedging instrument should not be considered an expiration or termination giving rise to the discontinuation of hedge accounting when a hedging derivative is novated:

As a consequence of laws and regulations, or the introduction of laws and regulations, one or more clearing counterparties replace the original counterparty; and

Any changes in terms of the novated derivative are limited to those necessary to effect the replacement of the counterparty.

Any changes to the derivative’s fair value arising from the novation would be reflected in its measurement and therefore in the measurement and assessment of hedge effectiveness. The Company does not anticipate that the application of these amendments to IAS 39 will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any novation of derivatives.

Except for the abovementioned impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuingly assessing the possible impact that the application other standards and interpretations will have on the Company’s financial position and operating result, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is complete.

The average credit terms range from 30 to 90 days. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Company considers significant change in the credit quality of the trade notes and accounts receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period. In general, with few exceptional cases, it is unlikely for the notes and accounts receivable due longer than 180 days to be collected, therefore the Company recognized 100% allowance of notes and accounts receivable overdue longer than 180 days. For the notes and accounts receivable less than 180 days, the allowance for doubtful accounts was estimated based on the Company’s historical recovery experience.

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

Aging of receivables that are past due but not impaired was as follows:

Chunghwa participated in the capital increase of So-net by investing $60,000 thousand in March 2013. The ownership interest remains 30% after the capital increase.

Chunghwa, Taiwan Mobile Corporation, Asia Pacific Telecom, Vibo Telecom, EasyCard Corporation and Far EasTone Telecommunications established an associate, ADT, in November 2013. Chunghwa invested $30,000 thousand cash and held 19% ownership of ADT. Based on the share of capital commitments, Chunghwa has one seat out of five seats in the board of directors; therefore it has significant influence over ADT. ADT engages mainly in the development of mobile payments and information processing service.

Chunghwa, President Chain Store Corporation and EasyCard Corporation established an associate, DZIM, in May 2011. Chunghwa invested $114,640 thousand cash and held 40% ownership of DZIM in May 2011. Chunghwa participated in the capital increase of DZIM by investing $14,360 thousand in May 2012 but did not subscribe the shares at its corresponding proportion. Thus, the ownership interest decreased from 40% to 33% after the capital increase of DZIM. DZIM reduced its capital by $193,490 thousand in December 2012; Chunghwa received $64,500 thousand from the capital reduction and the ownership interest remains at 33%. DZIM reduced its capital to offset the deficits amounting to $130,787 thousand and made capital reduction of $49,158 thousand during its stockholders’ meeting held on March 31, 2013. Chunghwa received $16,387 thousand from the capital reduction. Chunghwa did not participate in the capital increase of DZIM in July 2013 and the ownership interest decreased from 33% to 13% after the capital increase of DZIM. The Company still has two seats out of five seats in the board of directors; therefore it remains an investor with significant influence over DZIM. DZIM engages mainly in information technology service and general advertisement service.

The carrying amount of TISE was negative as of March 31, 2013, because the unrealized gains arising from upstream transactions with the Company were eliminated and the dividend was distributed.

The Company’s share of profit (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) of investees was recorded based on reviewed financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

For long-term business development, Chunghwa participated in mobile broadband license (4G license) bidding process announced by NCC and obtained certain spectrums. Chunghwa paid the 4G concession fee amounting to $39,075,000 thousand in November 2013.

Except for goodwill, the amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives:

The concession fee is amortized on a straight-line basis from the date operations commence through the date the license expires.

The computer software is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 2 to 10 years.

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

Additional paid-in capital from investments accounted for using equity method may not be used for any purpose.

 

  c. Retained earnings and dividends policy

Before distributing a dividend or making any other distribution to stockholders, Chunghwa must pay all outstanding taxes, offset deficits in prior years and set aside a legal reserve equal to 10% of its net income, except when the accumulated amount of such legal reserve equals to the Company’s total authorized capital, and depending on its business needs or requirements, may also set aside or reverse special reserves. In accordance with Chunghwa’s Articles of Incorporation, no less than 50% of the remaining earnings comprising remaining balance of net income, if any, plus cumulative undistributed earnings shall be distributed in the following order: (a) from 2% to 5% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to employees as employee bonus; (b) no more than 0.2% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to board of directors and supervisors as remuneration; and (c) cash dividends to be distributed shall not be less than 50% of the total amount of dividends to be distributed. If cash dividend to be distributed is less than $0.10 per share, such cash dividend shall be distributed in the form of common shares.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the accrual amounts for bonuses to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors were 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 approves to distribute the employee bonus as stocks, the share number of the stock bonus are determined by the amount of bonus divided by the fair value of the common stocks which is the closing market prices one day before shareholders’ meeting after taking into account the effects of ex-rights and ex-dividends.

Under Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012, the Company is required to set aside additional special reserve equivalent to debit balances under stockholder’s equity. For subsequent decrease in the deduction amount to stockholder’s equity, the decreased amount could be reversed from the special reserve to retained earnings.

 

- 36 -


The appropriation for legal reserve shall be made until the accumulated reserve equals the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of Chunghwa. This reserve can only be used to offset a deficit, or, when the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Chunghwa’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Except for non-ROC resident shareholders, all shareholders receiving the dividends are entitled a tax credit equal to their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Chunghwa.

The appropriations of the 2013 earnings of Chunghwa have been approved by the board of directors on March 25, 2014 and the appropriations of the 2012 earnings of Chunghwa approved by the stockholders on June 25, 2013 were as follows:

The board of directors of Chunghwa resolved to distribute cash of $2.14 per share and the total amount of $16,577,663 thousand from additional paid-in capital on March 25, 2014.

  c. The related information under the Integrated Income Tax System is as follows:

Undistributed earnings information

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

Imputation credit account

 

     March 31,
2014
     December 31,
2013
     March 31,
2013
 

Balance of Imputation Credit Account (“ICA”)

   $ 4,047,276       $ 4,036,735       $ 4,553,286   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

The creditable ratio for distribution of earnings of 2013 and 2012 was 20.48% (expected ratio) and 19.23%, respectively.

When Chunghwa appropriated the earnings generated in and after 1998, the imputation credit allocated to local shareholders was based on the creditable rate as of the date of the dividends distribution date. The actual imputation credits allocated to shareholders of the Chunghwa was based on the balance of the Imputation Credit Accounts (ICA) as of the date of dividend distribution. Therefore, the expected creditable ratio for the 2013 earnings may differ from the actual creditable ratio to be used in allocating imputation credits to the shareholders.

According to legal interpretation No. 10204562810 announced by the Taxation Administration of the Ministry of Finance, when calculating imputation credits in the year of first-time adoption of IFRSs, the cumulative retained earnings include the net decrease in retained earnings arising from first-time adoption of IFRSs.

  d. Income tax examination

Chunghwa’s income tax returns have been examined by the tax authorities through 2011 except for 2008. The following subsidiaries income tax returns have been examined by the tax authorities through 2011: SENAO, CHPT, CHIEF, CHI, LED, CHIYP, and CHST. Unigate, SFD, CHSI, SHE, YYRP, and CEI’s income tax returns have been assessed by the tax authorities through 2012.

Chunghwa’s income tax returns for 2008 is still under discussion with the tax authorities; however, the disputed amount was accrued in 2013.

 

32. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income and weighted average number of common stock used in the calculation of earnings per share were as follows:

Weighted average number of common stock used to compute the diluted earnings per share

     7,768,028         7,776,782   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

If Chunghwa may settle the employee bonus in shares or cash, Chunghwa shall presume that it 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 approve the number of shares to be distributed to employees in their meeting in the following year.

The SENAO Plans have exercise price adjustment formula upon the issuance of new common shares, capitalization of retained earnings and/or capital reserves, stock split as well as distribution of cash dividends, except (i) in the case of issuance of new shares in connection with mergers and in the case of cancellation of outstanding shares in connection with capital reduction, and (ii) except if the exercise price after adjustment exceeds the exercise price before adjustment. The options of all the Plans are valid for six years and the graded vesting schedule is that 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.

36. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue as going concerns while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Company consists of debt of the Company and the equity attributable to the parent.

The management reviews the capital structure of the Company as needed. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

According to the management’s suggestion, the Company maintains a balanced capital structure through paying cash dividends, increasing its share capital, purchasing treasury stock, proceeds from new debt or repayment of debt.

  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.

 

  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.

 

- 49 -


  2) Forward exchange contracts and cross currency swap contracts are measured using quoted forward exchange rates and yield curves derived from quoted interest rates matching maturities of the contracts. Where such prices are not available, the value of the currency swap contracts and forward exchange 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.

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 reports the significant risk exposures and related action plans timely and actively to the audit committee and if needed to the board of directors.

 

  a. Market risk

The Company is exposed to market risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses 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.

 

  1) Foreign currency risk management

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 changes in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, forward foreign exchange contracts and currency swap contracts. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax 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 before tax for the three months ended March 31, 2014 would increase/decrease by $7,742 thousand. This is mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to floating rates on its financial assets and short-term and long-term loans.

If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s profit before tax 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 assets 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 instruments with fixed rate.

 

  3) Other price risks

The Company is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The management managed the risk through holding various risk portfolios. Further, the Company assigned finance and investment departments to monitor the price risk.

Equity price sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If equity prices of listed equity securities had been 5% higher/lower:

Other comprehensive income would increase/decrease by $139,118 thousand and $306,321 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale assets for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

  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.
