Financial Statements for the
Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and
Independent Auditors’ Report
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Walsin Technology Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Walsin Technology Corporation (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of income, changes in
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits. The Company’s long-term equity investments of
NT$641,407 thousand and NT$596,558 thousand (3.01% and 2.92% of total assets of the Company)
as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and total investment (loss) income of
NT$(147,055) thousand and NT$117,645 thousand (17.00% and 11.03% of (loss) income before
income tax) for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were based on the
financial statements audited by other independent auditors. Accordingly, our opinion, insofar as it
relates to these investment-related amounts is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial
Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the
Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Walsin
Technology Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation
of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law and
Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and
accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

We have also audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for
the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 (not presented herewith) on which we have
expressed a modified unqualified opinion with an explanatory paragraph in our report dated March
21, 2012.
March 21, 2012
Notice to Readers
The accompanying financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results
of operations 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 audit such financial statements are those generally accepted and
applied in the Republic of China.
For the convenience of readers, the auditors’ report and the accompanying 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’
report and financial statements shall prevail. Also, as stated in Note 2 to the financial statements,
the additional footnote disclosures that are not required under generally accepted accounting
principles were not translated into English.

WALSIN TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Walsin Technology Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Republic of China (ROC) on
July 29, 1970 to design, develop and manufacture semiconductors and LED (light-emitting diode) chips.
In 1992, the Company purchased the machinery, equipment and inventory of the electronic department of
Walsin Lihwa Corporation to establish its Yang-Mei Plant on July 1 and changed its major operations to the
manufacture of electronic ceramics, including multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) and ceramic resistors.
In 1995, the Company established a branch in Kaohsiung to research, develop, produce and sell new
products such as chip resistors, RF (radio frequency) devices and high-frequency inductors and, in 2006,
the Company established a branch in Taichung to produce disc capacitors and new products. The
Company closed its operations in the Taichung Branch in August 2009. The Company’s common stock
began to be traded in Taiwan’s over-the-counter (OTC) market on November 21, 1997. Later, the
Company’s stock ceased to be OTC traded and became listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on September
17, 2001. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had 1,513 and 1,899 employees,
respectively. The major stockholder, Walsin Lihwa Corporation, held 18.11% ownership interest in the
Company as of December 31, 2011. The Company’s head office is located at 566-1, Kao-shi Road,
Yang-Mei, Taoyuan.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation
of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business
Accounting, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China (“ROC”).
For readers’ convenience, the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from
the original Chinese version prepared and used in the ROC. If inconsistencies arise between the English
version and the Chinese version or if differences arise in the interpretations between the two versions, the
Chinese version of the financial statements shall prevail. However, the Corporation’s financial statements
do not include the English translation of additional disclosures that are not required under generally
accepted accounting principles but are required by the Securities and Futures Bureau for their oversight
purposes.
Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:
Foreign Currencies
The financial statements of foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following
exchange rates:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Assets and liabilities - at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date;
Shareholders’ equity - at historical exchange rates;
Dividends - at the exchange rate prevailing on the dividend declaration date; and
Income and expenses - at average exchange rates for the year.
Exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations are
recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Such exchange differences are recognized in
profit or loss in the year in which the foreign operations are disposed of.
- 10 -
Non-derivative foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange
in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange differences arising from settlement of foreign-currency
assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.
At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency monetary assets and liabilities are revalued using prevailing
exchange rates and the exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency nonmonetary assets (such as equity instruments) and liabilities
that are measured at fair value are revalued using prevailing exchange rates, with the exchange differences
treated as follows:
a. Recognized in shareholders’ equity if the changes in fair value are recognized in shareholders’ equity;
b. Recognized in profit and loss if the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
Foreign-currency nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are carried at cost continue to be stated at exchange
rates at trade dates.
If the functional currency of an equity-method investee is a foreign currency, translation adjustments will
result from the translation of the investee’s financial statements into the reporting currency of the Company.
Such adjustments are accumulated and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Accounting Estimates
Under above guidelines, law and principles, certain estimates and assumptions have been used for the
allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for loss on inventories, depreciation and impairment of property,
plant and equipment, income tax, pension cost, bonuses to employees, directors and supervisors, etc.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Current/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 such as
property, plant and equipment and intangible 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.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of commercial paper, bank acceptances and repurchase agreements collateralized
by bonds which are highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of three months or less when
acquired and with carrying amounts that approximate their fair values.
Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Financial instruments classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
(“FVTPL”) include financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as at
FVTPL on initial recognition. The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability on its
balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
A financial asset is derecognized when the Company has lost control of its contractual rights over the
financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract
is discharged, cancelled or expired.
Financial instruments at FVTPL are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable
to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit
or loss. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets or financial liabilities
- 11 -
at FVTPL are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized directly in profit or loss in the
year in which they arise. Cash dividends received subsequently (including those received in the year of
investment) are recognized as income for the year. On derecognition of a financial asset or a financial
liability, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and
receivable or consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss. All regular way purchases or
sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
A derivative that does not meet the criteria for hedge accounting is classified as a financial asset or a
financial liability held for trading. If the fair value of the derivative is positive, the derivative is
recognized as a financial asset; otherwise, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities at the balance sheet date are determined as follows:
Publicly traded stocks - at closing prices; and open-end mutual funds - at net asset values.
Impairment of Accounts Receivable
An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided on the basis of a review of the collectibility of accounts
receivable. The Company assesses the probability of collections of accounts receivable by examining the
aging analysis of the outstanding receivables and assessing the value of the collateral provided by
customers.
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, on January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the third-time
revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34, “Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement.” One of the main revisions is that impairment of receivables originated by
the Company should be covered by SFAS No. 34. Accounts receivable are assessed for impairment at the
end of each reporting period and 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 accounts receivable, the estimated
future cash flows of the asset have been affected.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods, work-in-process and semi-finished goods and
are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made item by item,
except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated
selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Inventories are recorded at standard cost and adjusted to approximate weighted-average cost on the balance
sheet date. Estimated losses on scrap and slow-moving items are recognized as an allowance for inventory
obsolescence on the balance sheet date.
Investments Accounted for by Equity Method
Investments in which the Company holds 20% or more of the investees’ voting shares or exercises
significant influence over the investees’ operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for by the
equity method.
The investment cost is allocated to the assets and liabilities of the investee on the basis of their fair values
(proportionate to the percentage of ownership) at the date of investment, and the investment cost in excess
of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is not
amortized, but should be tested for impairment every year and for specific events or changes in
circumstances which indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. The fair value of the net
identifiable assets of the investee in excess of the investment cost is used to reduce the fair value of each of
the noncurrent assets of the investee (except for financial assets other than investments accounted for by the
equity method, noncurrent assets held for sale, deferred income tax assets, prepaid pension or other
postretirement benefit) in proportion to the respective fair values of the noncurrent assets, with any excess
recognized as an extraordinary gain.
- 12 -
The Company’s investments previously classified as available-for-sale financial assets are reclassified into
investments accounted for by the equity method when the Company is able to exercise significant influence
over the investee. The carrying amount of the investment at the beginning of the year is deemed cost for
the purpose of applying the equity method.
If the Company owns directly and indirectly more than 50% equity interest in an investee or can exercise
control over an investee, equity in earnings or losses of the investee is recognized on the basis of the
investee’s financial statements for the same reporting period as that of the Company.
When the Company subscribes for its investee’s newly issued shares at a percentage different from its
percentage of ownership in the investee, the Company records the change in its equity in the investee’s net
assets as an adjustment to investments, with a corresponding amount credited or charged to capital surplus.
When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus arising from long-term
investments is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
When the Company’s share in losses of an investee over which the Company has control exceeds its
investment in the investee, unless the other stockholders of the investee have assumed legal or constructive
obligations and have demonstrated the ability to make payments on behalf of the investee, the Company has
to bear all of the losses in excess of the capital contributed by stockholders of the investee. The credit
balance on the book value of the long-term equity investment is treated as a liability on the balance sheet.
If the investee subsequently reports profits, such profits are first attributed to the Company to the extent of
the excess losses previously borne by the Company.
An investment is evaluated for impairment on the balance sheet date and loss is recognized if there is
objective evidence showing that the investment is impaired. The impairment losses on those investments
in which the Company has significant influence but with no control are evaluated at their respective
carrying amounts.
The Company’s controllable investees are included in the consolidated financial statements.
Available-for-sale Financial Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition.
At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition,
available-for-sale financial assets are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in
equity until the financial assets are disposed of, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously
recognized in equity is included in profit or loss for the year. All regular way purchases or sales of
financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
The recognition, derecognition and the fair value bases of available-for-sale financial assets are the same
with those of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Cash dividends are recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for dividends distributed from the
pre-acquisition profit, which are treated as a reduction of investment cost. Stock dividends are not
recognized as investment income but are recorded as an increase in the number of shares. The total
number of shares subsequent to the increase is used for recalculation of cost per share.
An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired.
Any subsequent decrease in impairment loss on an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale is
recognized directly in equity.
- 13 -
Financial Assets Carried at Cost
Investments in equity instruments with no quoted prices in an active market and with fair values that cannot
be reliably measured, such as non-publicly traded stocks and stocks traded in the Emerging Stock Market,
are measured at their original cost. The accounting treatment for dividends on financial assets carried at
cost is the same with that for dividends on available-for-sale financial assets. An impairment loss is
recognized when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. A reversal of this impairment loss
is disallowed.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Idle Assets
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures that would
increase the value or extend the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized.
Interest incurred during asset construction period is capitalized until the asset is substantially completed and
ready for its intended use.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives as follows:
Buildings and improvements
Machinery and equipment
Transportation equipment
Other equipment
Leasehold improvements
3 to 50 years
3 to 6 years
5 years
3 to 5 years
Lower of 3 years or the contract term
Property, plant and equipment (including idle assets) that are not used in operations are classified as other
assets at the lower of net realizable values or book values, and any excess of book value over net realizable
value is reported as nonoperating loss.
An additional service life and a new residual value will be determined for any depreciable asset which is
still in use after the end of its prescribed useful life, and the original residual value is depreciated on the
straight-line method.
Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to nonoperating income or loss.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their maturity periods.
License fee is amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term or over the economic useful lives of
the assets.
Computer software is amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years.
Deferred Charges
Deferred charges are stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their maturity periods.
- 14 -
Impairment of Assets
If the recoverable amount of an asset (mainly property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred
charges and investments accounted for by the equity method) is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
charged to earnings unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is
first treated as a deduction to the unrealized revaluation increment and any remaining loss is charged to
earnings.
If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased accordingly, but
the increased carrying amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had
no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is
recognized in earnings, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the
impairment loss is first recognized as gains to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset
was previously charged to earnings. Any excess amount is treated as an increase in the unrealized
revaluation increment.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units
(“CGUs”) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A CGU to which goodwill
has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the CGU may
be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the CGU becomes less than its carrying amount, the impairment
is allocated to first reduce the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other
assets of the CGU pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. A reversal of an
impairment loss on goodwill is disallowed.
Pension Cost
Pension cost under a defined benefit plan is determined by actuarial valuations. Contributions made under
a defined contribution plan are recognized as pension cost during the year in which employees render
services.
Curtailment or settlement gains or losses on the defined benefit plan are recognized as part of the net
pension cost for the year.
Income Tax
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 22, “Accounting for Income
Taxes,” which requires the asset and liability approach to financial accounting and tax reporting. Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are computed quarterly on the basis of the differences between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income. Valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets that are not certain to be realized.
Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change
during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
If the Company can control the timing of the reversal of a temporary difference between the book value and
the tax basis of a long-term equity investment in a foreign subsidiary or joint venture and if the temporary
difference is not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future and will, in effect, exist indefinitely, then a
deferred tax liability or asset is not recognized.
Tax credits for purchase of machinery, equipment and technology research and development expenditures
are recognized as reduction of current income tax expense.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
- 15 -
According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as
income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.
Stock-based Compensation
Employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2008 are accounted for under SFAS No. 39,
“Accounting for Share-based Payment.” Under the statement, 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 capital surplus - employee stock options. The estimate is revised if subsequent information
indicates that the number of stock options expected to vest differs from previous estimates.
Employee stock options granted between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2007 were accounted for under
the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (“ARDF”). The
Company adopted the intrinsic value method.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is the Company’s own stock acquired according to the Stock Exchange Law. When the
Company does not dispose or write off these stocks, their cost is listed as a deduction in stockholders’
equity.
The difference is listed as capital surplus - treasury stock when the disposal price is higher than book value.
If the price is lower, the difference will be recognized as deduction of capital surplus - treasury stock, but if
the capital surplus - treasury stock is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 30 “Accounting for Treasury
Stocks,” which requires the Company to treat intercompany stockholdings as treasury stock.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant
risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, primarily upon shipment, because the earnings process has
been completed and the economic benefits associated with the transaction have been realized or are
realizable.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to common
stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
On a diluted basis, both net earnings (loss) and shares outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of
employee stock options from the date of issuance, and adopt the treasury stock method to calculate the
stock warrants’ dilutive potential common shares. However, if the employee stock options contain an
anti-dilutive effect, they will be excluded from the earnings (loss) per share calculation.
Hedge Accounting
Derivatives that are designated and effective as hedging instruments are measured at fair value, with
subsequent changes in fair value recognized either in profit or loss, or in stockholders’ equity, depending on
the nature of the hedging relationship.
- 16 -
Hedge accounting recognizes the offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in the fair values of the
hedging instrument and the hedged item as follows:
Cash flow hedge:
The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is
recognized in stockholders’ equity. The amount recognized in stockholders’ equity is recognized in profit
or loss in the same year or years during which the hedged forecast transaction or an asset or liability arising
from the hedged forecast transaction affects profit or loss. However, if all or a portion of a loss recognized
in stockholders’ equity is not expected to be recovered in the future, the amount that is not expected to be
recovered is reclassified into profit or loss.
Nonderivative Financial Instruments
The recognition and valuation of nonderivative financial assets and liabilities are in accordance with the
above accounting policies and generally accepted accounting principles.
3. EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 34, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” The main revisions included
loans and receivable originated by the Company under the scope of SFAS No. 34. This accounting change
did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Operating Segments
On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the newly issued SFAS No. 41, “Operating Segments.” The
statement requires that segment information be disclosed based on the information about the components of
the Company that management uses to make operating decisions. SFAS No. 41 requires identification of
operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Company's chief
operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance. This
statement supersedes SFAS No. 20, “Segment Reporting.” For this accounting change, the Company
restated the segment information in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2010 to conform to the disclosures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

(Concluded)
In August 2007, the Company entered into a syndicated credit facility with First Bank and other banks.
According to the terms of the loan contract, the Company promised to maintain specific financial ratios
such as current ratio, liability ratio and net value of tangible assets during the loan period.
As of December 31, 2011, liability ratio (the ratio of liability to tangible net worth, including minority
interest) was not higher than 140% - current ratio was not lower than 100% and interest coverage ratio
(earnings before income tax, interest, depreciation and amortization divided by interest expense) was not
lower than 300%. The net value of tangible assets (including minority interest) was not lower than
$23,500,000 thousand. These ratio calculations are based on the Company’s annual and semiannual
consolidated audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. On February
9, 2010, the Company obtained the banks’ consent to extend the date of loan maturity to February 2012 and
paid the principal in full in advance in May 2011.
The Company should maintain certain financial ratios in its audited annual and semiannual consolidated
financial statements during the loan term.
16. PENSION PLAN
The pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA) is a defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, the
rate of the Company’s monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts is at 6% of
monthly salaries and wages. The employees’ pension accounts are in the Bureau of Labor Insurance.
The related net pension costs were $37,936 thousand for 2011 and $34,177 thousand for 2010.
Under the Labor Standards Law, the Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible
employees. The benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries
of the six months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts equal to 3% of total monthly
salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. The
pension fund is deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. The fair value of the
Company’s plan assets was greater than the net periodic pension cost; thus, the Company had stopped
contributing to the fund deposited in Bank of Taiwan from December 1, 2010 to November 30, 2011.

December 31, 2010, employee stock warrants were converted into 355,000 common shares at $18.70 per
share. As of December 31, 2010, the procedures for registration of 355,000 common shares issued for the
execution of employee stock warrant were not completed; thus, the proceeds were reported as advance
receipts for common stock. As of January 2011, the procedures for registration of 355,000 common
shares issued for the execution of employee stock warrant were completed and converted into 355,000
common shares. As at June 22, 2011, the Company shareholders’ meeting resolved to issue additional
capital stock of $257,196 thousand through stock dividend. Thus, as of December 31, 2011, the
Company’s paid-in capital had increased to $6,900,634 thousand, divided into 690,063,380 common shares
with NT$10 par value.
The Company’s paid-in capital as of January 1, 2010 was $6,638,023 thousand. During the year ended

share. As of December 31, 2010, the procedures for registration of 355,000 common shares issued for the
execution of employee stock warrant were not completed; thus, the proceeds were reported as advance
receipts for common stock. As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s paid-in capital had increased to
$6,639,888 thousand, divided into 663,988,765 common shares with NT$10 par value.
Earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the year. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the weighted average number of shares used in
the calculation of earnings per share had been restated for the retroactive effect of the stock dividends
issued in 2011.

Due to net loss in 2011, the diluted earnings per share had not been calculated.
The Accounting Research and Development Foundation issued Interpretation 2007-052, which requires
companies to recognize bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as compensation expenses
beginning January 1, 2008. These bonuses were previously recorded as appropriations from earnings.
The Company may decide to distribute bonuses to employees in cash or shares; in this case, the Company
should presume that the entire amount of the bonus will be settled in shares, and, if the resulting potential
shares have a dilutive effect, these shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares
outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share (EPS). The number of shares is estimated
by dividing the entire amount of the bonus by the closing price of the shares at the balance sheet date. The
dilutive effect of the potential shares should be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the
stockholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following
year.

18. RETAINED EARNINGS
Based on the ROC Company Law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, 10% of the Company’s
earnings, less tax and any deficit, should be appropriated as legal reserve until this reserve equals to the
paid-in capital and as special reserve as regulated by laws or domestic authorities. Unappropriated
earnings could be retained for operating needs, if necessary. The remaining balance, if any, should be
distributed in the following order:
a. Bonuses to employees - 5%, including subsidiaries’ employees, if approved by the board of directors;
b. Remuneration to directors and supervisors - 2%; and
c. Any remainder, as dividends, bonuses to stockholders.
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation also provide that profits of the Company may be distributed by
way of cash dividend and/or stock dividend. In the distribution of profits, the ratio for cash dividend shall
not exceed 50% of the total distribution. However, according to the capital budget of next year, the
Company can make certain adjustment to the dividend policy stated above to raise the ratio of cash
dividend up to 100% of the total distribution to stockholders if necessary.
The appropriations of earnings for 2010 and 2009 had been approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June
22, 2011 and June 25, 2010, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

The Company’s board of directors had proposed and the stockholders had approved the distribution from
2010 earnings. Information on earnings appropriation can be accessed online through the Market
Observation Post System of the Taiwan Stock Exchange (http://e-mops.tse.com.tw).
The Company’s stockholders approved the board of directors’ proposal to offset $214,278 thousand of the
legal reserve and $26,023 thousand of the capital surplus with accumulated deficit in 2009. Information
on the offsetting of loss can be accessed online through the Market Observation Post System of the Taiwan
Stock Exchange (http://e-mops.tse.com.tw).
Due to the net loss and accumulated deficit for the year ended and as of December 31, 2011, the Company
did not appropriate bonuses to employees, directors and supervisors.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the accrued bonus to employees was $36,495 thousand, and the
accrued remuneration to directors and supervisors was $14,598 thousand. The bonus to employees and
remuneration to directors and supervisors represented 5% and 2%, respectively, of net income (net of the
bonus and remuneration). Material differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts
proposed by the Board of Directors in the following year are adjusted for in the current year. If the actual
amounts subsequently resolved by the stockholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are
recorded in the year of stockholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If a share bonus is
resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of the
share bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares of
the day immediately preceding the stockholders’ meeting.
- 28 -
The amounts of the bonus to employees and the bonus to directors and supervisors approved in 2011 were
$18,437 thousand and $7,375 thousand and the related amounts accrued in 2010 were $36,495 thousand
and $14,598 thousand. The differences had been adjusted in profit and loss for the year ended December
31, 2011.
On November 23, 2007, the Company’s board of directors resolved to issue employee stock warrants in
accordance with Article 28.3 of the Securities and Exchange Law, which limited the number of warrants for
distribution to 4,000,000 units. Each unit has the right to buy one newly issued common share. The
exercise price is the closing price of the Company’s common shares at the warrant issuance date. The
warrant holder can exercise the right up to 50% of the granted warrant units no earlier than two years from
the granted date. After three years from the granted date, warrant holders are eligible to exercise all the
warrants owned. As of December 25, 2007, the Company had issued 4,000,000 units of the employee
stock warrants to the employees at the exercise price of $21.55 per unit.
The exercise price of these warrants mentioned above had been retroactively restated to $18.00 dollars per
share for the distribution of stock dividends issued over the years. The employee stock warrants issued by
the Company were exercised at market value; thus, there was no intrinsic value or compensation cost
recognized in 2011 and 2010.

25. OTHERS
a. Credit risk
The counterparties to the contracts above are all commercial or investment banks or broker with high
credit ratings; thus, credit risks are considered insignificant.
b. Market price risk
The Company measured market price risk of financial instruments for trading purposes by market
value, and set up the loss limitations according to the acceptable risk.
The gain or loss of financial instruments for non-trading purposes derived from the fluctuation of
interest rate or exchange rate is to be offset by the loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk
being hedged and thus, the market risk is insignificant.
c. Liquidity risk, cash flow risk and forecasted cash flow risk
The Company has the ability to meet its financial obligations; thus, liquidity risks virtually do not exist.
Forward rates for forward contracts are fixed; thus, cash flow risks are insignificant. In addition, the
possibility that the Company’s forward exchange contracts cannot be sold at a reasonable price in the
market is remote; thus, liquidity risk is low.

(Concluded)
Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments were as follows:
1) The carrying amounts of the following short-term financial instruments approximate their fair
values because of their short maturities: Cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable,
notes and accounts payable, short-term bank loans and other financial instruments.
2) Fair values of financial instruments designated as at FVTPL and available-for-sale are based on
their quoted prices in an active market. For those instruments with no quoted market prices, their
fair values are determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions
consistent with those generally used by other market participants to price financial instruments.
Fair values of derivatives are based on their quoted prices in an active market. For those
derivatives with no quoted market prices, their fair values are determined using valuation
techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions consistent with those generally used by other
market participants to price financial instruments.
3) Long-term equity investment at equity method do not have quoted prices in an active market and
entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair value, thus the fair value was based on the
net price per share in the financial report verified and certified by an independent accountant issued
as at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
4) Financial assets carried at cost are investments in unquoted shares, which have no quoted prices in
an active market and entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair values. Therefore,
no fair value is presented.
