FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REVIEW REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, 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. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese
version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and
financial statements shall prevail.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of FORMOSA ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Formosa Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd.
as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of comprehensive income and of cash flows
for the three months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our
reviews.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 36,
“Engagements to Review Financial Statements” in the Republic of China. A review consists primarily
of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards 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 opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications or adjustments that should
be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the “Regulations
Governing the Preparation of the Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and International Accounting
Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the
Company’s financial condition and operating results based on the Company’s assessment. The
quantitative impact will be disclosed when the assessment is complete.
A. IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’
(a) Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity’s business model and the contractual
cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial asset at
fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortised cost. Equity instruments
would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes
an irrevocable election at inception to present in other comprehensive income subsequent
changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading.
(b) The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an ‘expected credit loss’
approach. An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant
increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognise 12-month
expected credit losses (‘ECL’) or lifetime ECL (interest revenue would be calculated on the
gross carrying amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument has
objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be calculated
on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e. net of credit allowance).
B. IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’
IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ replaces IAS 11, ‘Construction Contracts’, IAS
18, ‘Revenue’ and relevant interpretations. According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when a
customer obtains control of promised goods or services. A customer obtains control of goods or
services when a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the
remaining benefits from, the asset.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in

accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify contracts with customer
Step 2: Identify separate performance obligations in the contract(s)
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price
Step 5: Recognise revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied
Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity
to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature,
amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
C. Amendments to IFRS 15, ‘Clarifications to IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers’
The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer goods
or services to a customer) in a contract; determine whether a company is a principal (the provider
of goods or services) or an agent (responsible for arranging for the goods or services to be
provided); and determine whether the revenue from granting a licence should be recognised at a
point in time or over time. In addition to the clarifications, the amendments include two additional
reliefs to reduce cost and complexity for a company when it first applies the new Standard.
D. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard
requires lessees to recognise a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with
terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for
lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for
those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided
by lessors.
The Company is assessing the potential impact of the new standards, interpretations and amendments
above. The impact will be disclosed when the assessment is complete.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with Note 4 of the financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2016, except for the compliance statement, basis of preparations and additional
policies as set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented,
unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
A. The financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations
Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and IAS 34, ‘Interim
Financial Reporting’ as endorsed by the FSC.
B. The financial statements should be read together with the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2016.
~11~
(2) Basis of preparation
A. Except for the following items, these financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention:
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through
profit or loss.
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less
present value of defined benefit obligation.
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting
Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as
endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process
of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment
or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements
are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Employee benefits
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with Note 4 in the financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2016, except for the additional policies as set out below.
Pension cost for the interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the pension cost rate
derived from the actuarial valuation at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant
market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant
one-off events. The related information is disclosed accordingly.
(4) Income tax
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with Note 4 in the financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2016, except for the additional policies as set out below.
The interim period income tax expense is recognised based on the estimated average annual effective
income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pretax income of the interim period,
and the related information is disclosed accordingly.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF
ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
Please refer to Note 5 in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
~12~
6. DETAILS OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTS
(1) Cash and cash equivalents

A.(a)The Company has a non-contributory and funded defined benefit pension plan in accordance
with the Labor Standards Law, covering all regular employees. Under the defined benefit
pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit
for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are
based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last
6 months prior to retirement. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the
employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with the Trust
Department of Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund
committee. Also, the Company would assess the balance in the aforementional labor pension
reserve account by December 31 every year. If the account balance is not enough to pay the
pension calculated by the aforementioned method to employees expected to qualify for
retirement in the following year, the Company will make contribution for the deficit by next
March.
(b) For the aforementioned pension plan, the Company recognised pension costs of $419 and
$411 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
(c) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plan of the Company for the year ended

R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company contributes monthly an amount based
on 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension
accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump
sum upon termination of employment.

(11) Capital stock
As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s authorized capital was $5,000,000, and the paid-in captial
was $4,422,222, consisting of 442,222 thousand shares with a par value of $10 per share. All
proceeds from shares issued have been collected.
(12) Capital surplus
Pursuant to the R.O.C. Company Act, capital surplus arising from paid-in capital in excess of par
value on issuance of common stocks and donations can be used to cover accumulated deficit or to
issue new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, provided that the
Company has no accumulated deficit. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Law requires
that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalised mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the
paid-in capital each year. Capital surplus should not be used to cover accumulated deficit unless the
legal reserve is insufficient.
(13) Retained earnings
A. Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the current year's earnings, if any, shall first be
used to pay all taxes and offset prior years’ operating losses and then 10% of the remaining
amount shall be set aside as legal reserve. Appropriation of the remainder shall be proposed by
the Board of Directors and resolved by the stockholders.
The Company operates in a volatile business environment and is in the stable growth stage. In
response to the business scale expansion, the Company’s dividend policy involves three
alternatives which include cash dividend distribution, the use of earnings to increase capital, and
the use of additional paid-in capital to increase capital. Taking into consideration significant
investment plans or in order to improve the capital demand of the Company’s financial structure,
the Company will first use the earnings to increase the capital and then the additional paid-in
capital. Assuming the Company has surplus earnings, this will be distributed in the form of cash
dividends. In case of the excessive increase in capital which decreases dividend payout ratio, the
amount of earnings and capital surplus to be capitalised shall not exceed 80% of the total
dividends distributed.
B. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in
proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose.
The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their
share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion
in excess of 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital.
C. In accordance with the regulations, the Company shall set aside special reserve from the debit
balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings. When debit
balance on other equity items is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount could be included
in the distributable earnings.
D. The appropriations of earnings of 2016 had been approved by the Board of Directors on March
~22~
17, 2017 and the appropriations of earnings of 2015 as resolved by the shareholders on June 24,
2016 are as follows:
The aforementioned information on the appropriation of the Company’s earnings as resolved by
the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders will be posted in the “Market
Observation Post System” at the website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
E. For the information relating to employees’ remuneration (bonuses) and directors’ and supervisors’
remuneration, please refer to Note 6(19).

(1) Capital management
There were no significant changes during the period. Please refer to Note 11 of the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
(2) Financial instruments
A. Fair value information of financial instruments
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortised cost (including
notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables (including
related parties), other financial assets, short-term borrowing, short-term notes and bills payable,
notes payable, accounts payable (including related parties), other payables and other financial
liabilities) are approximate to their fair values. Because the interest rates of the long-term loans
(including portion maturing within one year or one operating cycle, whichever is longer) are
close to the market interest rate, thus the carrying amount is a reasonable basis for the estimation
of fair value. The fair value information of financial instruments measured at fair value is
provided in Note 12(3).
B. Financial risk management policies
There was no significant change in the reporting period. Please refer to Note 11 of the

diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the
limits set by the Company.
ii. The Company’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted
stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value
of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by
1% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the three months ended
March 31, 2017 and 2016 would have increased/decreased by $5,213 and $5,449,
respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value
through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by
$12,017 and $10,082, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities
classified as available-for-sale.
(b) Credit risk
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the
clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. According
to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing
and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and
delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality
of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other
factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance
with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly
monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial
instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, including outstanding
receivables. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties are
accepted.
ii. No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods, and management does not
expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
iii. The credit quality information of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired is
provided in the statement for each type of financial assets in Note 6.
iv. The ageing analysis of financial assets that were past due but not impaired is provided in
the statement for each type of financial assets in Note 6.
v. The individual analysis of financial assets that had been impaired is provided in the
statement for each type of financial assets in Note 6.
(c)Liquidity risk
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Company and
aggregated by Company treasury. Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the
Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational
needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing
~35~
facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants
(where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into
consideration the Company’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, and compliance
with internal balance sheet ratio targets.
ii. Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working
capital management are transferred to the Company treasury. The Company treasury
invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, deposit account, short-term
bonds and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or
sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the abovementioned
forecasts. As at March 31, 2017 , December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company
held money market position of $5,585,549, $5,397,234 and $5,456,710, respectively that
are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.
iii. The table below analyses the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-
settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings
based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date
for non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative
financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted
cash flows.

(3) Fair value information
A. Details of the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities not measured
at fair value are provided in Note 11(2)A
B. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
Level1: Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities. A market is regarded as active if it meets all the following conditions: the
items traded in the market are homogeneous; willing buyers and sellers can normally be
found at any time; and prices are available to the public. The fair value of the Company’s
investment in listed stocks and beneficiary certificates is included in Level 1.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from
prices).The fair value of the Company’s investment in derivative instruments is included
in Level 2.
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
C. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level
on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at March 31, 2017,
Decebmer 31, 2016, and March 31, 2016 is as follows:

D. The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:
(a) The financial instruments the Company used market quoted prices as their fair values (that
is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
(b) Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial
instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes.
The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques method can
be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in
substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by
applying model using market information available at the balance sheet date.
(c) The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely
accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models.
Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.
Structured interest derivative instruments are measured by using appropriate option pricing
models (i.e. Black-Scholes model) or other valuation methods, such as Monte Carlo
simulation.
(d) The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be
able to capture all relevant factors of the Company’s financial and non-financial instruments.
Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with
additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the
Company’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation
models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is
necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial
instruments at the balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation
are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
(e) The Company takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the
