The entities required to be included in the combined financial statements in accordance with the “Criteria

Governing Preparation of Affiliation Reports, Consolidated Business Reports and Consolidated Financial

Statements of Affiliated Enterprises” as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 are the same as

those included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with International

Financial Reporting Standard 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements.” Relevant information that should

be disclosed in the combined financial statements has all been disclosed in the consolidated financial

statements. Consequently, we have not prepared a separate set of combined financial statements.

The descriptions of key audit matters of 2017 consolidated financial statement are as follows:

Estimated Impairment of Trade Receivable

As described in Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the determination of estimated

impairment of trade receivable takes into consideration the present value of estimated future cash flows forecast

by management based on foreseeable economic status. This is determined to be material to the financial

statements as a whole and involves significant management judgment; thus, this is determined as a key audit

matter. As of December 31, 2017, allowance for impairment loss of trade receivables was NT$2,495,848

thousand, representing 2.67% of total trade receivables; impairment loss of trade receivables recognized in the

consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2017 was NT$1,429,980

thousand, representing 22.59% of operating expenses.

Our audit procedures included:

1. We understood the policies on impairment of trade receivable and assessed the reasonableness of

impairment of receivables by performing inquiry, inspection and re-performance of related internal

controls.

2. We involved our IT specialists in testing the system that generated trade-receivable related documents used

by management in performing controls.

3. We performed analytical procedures on current and prior years’ receivable balances and write-offs of

allowances for impairment to assess the reasonableness of the recognized impairment loss.

4. We assessed the data and model used in the estimation of receivable impairment, including collection of

impaired receivables and discount rates.

5. We calculated the impairment based on the impairment policy of the Group.

Calculation of Interest Revenue from Acquired Accounts Receivable

As described in Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, interest revenue from acquired

accounts receivable consists of small amounts from a large number of debtors; interest revenue is recognized

throughout the periods of individual receivable acquisition contracts using effective interest rates. Contracts

involve various contract periods, principal amounts and interest rates, resulting in large data processing and

complex calculation. Thus, we determined calculation of interest revenue from acquired accounts receivable

as a key audit matter. For the year ended December 31, 2017, interest revenue recognized from acquired

accounts receivable was NT$3,888,908 thousand, representing 19.96% of operating revenue.

Our audit procedures included:

1. We involved our IT specialists in the evaluation of IT general control environment and logic of accounts

receivable interest revenue calculation system used by management.

2. We calculated interest revenue from acquired accounts receivable using effective interest rate to assess the

reasonableness of recognized revenue.

3. We performed analytical procedures using the ratio of the balances of receivables acquired to the

recognized interest revenue of current and prior years to assess the reasonableness of recognized revenue.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years

ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial

Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in

accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC

Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial

Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is

necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement,

whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability

to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going

concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or

has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s

financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a

whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that

includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit

conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always

detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered

material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic

decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we

exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due

to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence

that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material

misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve

collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are

appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of

the Group’s internal control.

3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates

and related disclosures made by management.

4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based

on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that

may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a

material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related

disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our

opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report.

However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including

the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and

events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business

activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are

responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely

responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and

timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that

we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical

requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that

may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of

most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017

and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or

regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine

that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would

reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hsin-Wei Tai and

Yu-Wei Fan.

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and related amendment

1) Recognition, measurement and impairment 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 subsequently measured at amortized

cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated

below.

For the Group’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of

principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are

as follows:

a) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the

contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for

impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest

revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;

b) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by

both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial

assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are

assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective

interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income,

except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt

instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized

in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

Except for the above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

However, the Group 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. No subsequent impairment

assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other

comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

Based on an analysis of the Group’s financial assets as at December 31, 2017 on the basis of the

facts and circumstances that exist at that date, the Group has performed an assessment of the impact

of IFRS 9 to the classification and measurement of financial assets as follows:

Debt investments classified as held-to-maturity financial assets and measured at amortized cost will

be classified as measured at amortized cost under IFRS 9 because on initial recognition, the

contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding

and these investments are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual

cash flows.

IFRS 9 requires impairment loss on financial assets to be recognized by using the “Expected Credit

Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized

cost, investments in debt instruments measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets

arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments

and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is

required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit

risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance

for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a

financing transaction.

Page 17: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 16 -

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group takes into account the

expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate.

Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a

corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

The Group has performed an assessment that the Group will apply the simplified approach to

recognize lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables and lease receivables. In relation to

the debt instrument investments and the financial guarantee contracts, the Group will assess whether

there has been a significant increase in the credit risk to determine whether to recognize 12-month

or lifetime expected credit losses.

The Group has assessed that retrospectively applying the requirements for the classification,

measurement and impairment of financial assets under IFRS 9 will have no material impact on

assets, liabilities and equity as of January 1, 2018.

2) 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 risks eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way the hedging cost

of 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.

An assessment of the Group’s current hedging relationships indicates that they will qualify as

continuing hedging relationships upon application of IFRS 9.

Except for the above impacts, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for

issue, the Group continues assessing other possible impacts that application of the aforementioned

amendments and the related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial

Reports by Securities Issuers will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance, and

will disclose these other impacts when the assessment is completed.

Note 4: The Group shall apply these amendments to plan amendments, curtailments or settlements

occurring on or after January 1, 2019.

Except for the following explanations, the Company considers that the application of the above

standards and interpretations will not cause any material changes to the accounting policies of the

Group.

IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related

interpretations.

Under IFRS 16, if the Group is a lessee, it shall recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all

leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for low-value and short-term leases. The Group may

elect to apply the accounting method similar to the accounting for operating lease under IAS 17 to the

low-value and short-term leases. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group

should present the depreciation expense charged on the right-of-use asset separately from interest

expense accrued on the lease liability; interest is computed by using effective interest method. On the

consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are

classified within financing activities; cash payments for interest portion are classified within operating

activities.

The application of IFRS 16 is not expected to have a material impact on the accounting of the Group as

lessor.

When IFRS 16 becomes effective, the Group may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to

each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial

application of this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments”

IFRIC 23 clarifies that when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments, the Group should assume

that the taxation authority will have full knowledge of all related information when making related

examinations. If the Group concludes that it is probable that the taxation authority will accept an

uncertain tax treatment, the Group should determine the taxable profit, tax bases, unused tax losses,

unused tax credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatments used or planned to be used in its

income tax filings. If it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax

treatment, the Group should make estimates using either the most likely amount or the expected value

of the tax treatment, depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of

the uncertainty. The Group has to reassess its judgments and estimates if facts and circumstances

change.

On initial application, the Group shall either apply IFRIC 23 retrospectively to each prior reporting

period presented and restate the information of comparative period, if this is possible without the use of

hindsight, or recognize the cumulative effect of the initial application of IFRIC 23 at the date of initial

application.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group

is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations

will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance, and will disclose the relevant

impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing

the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC.

Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial

instruments that are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are recognized at the

present value of the defined benefit obligations less the fair value of the plan assets.

The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value

measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its

entirety, which are described as follows:

a. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

b. Level 2 inputs are 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); and

c. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include:

a. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

b. Assets expected to be realized within an operating cycle after the reporting period; and

c. Cash and cash equivalents.

Current liabilities include:

a. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

b. Liabilities due to be settled within an operating cycle after the reporting period; and

c. Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least

an operating cycle after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the

counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

All other assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

The operating cycle of the Company, Shinshin Credit Corporation (“Shinshin”), TAC Leasing (Suzhou)

Co., Ltd. (“TAC Leasing (Suzhou)”), TAC Financial Leasing Co., Ltd., Yulon Motor Finance (China) Co.,

Ltd. and Yu Rich Financial Services Co., Ltd. (“Yu Rich”), all of which are more than one year, is used as

the basis for determining liquidity in the classification of balance sheet accounts.

Page 20: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 19 -

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company, and the entities

controlled by the Company. Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposal of during the period

are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the

effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal. When necessary, adjustments are made to

the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the

Company. All intra-group transactions, balances, income, and expenses are eliminated in full upon

consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company,

and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit

balance.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control

over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s

interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the

subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and

the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the

owners of the Company.

See Note 15, Table 8 and Table 9 for the detailed information of subsidiaries (including the percentage of

ownership and main business).

Foreign Currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual Group entity, transactions in currencies other than

the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the

dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign

currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items

arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s

foreign operations (including of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in other countries or

currencies used different with the Company) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates

prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average

exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income,

attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by

item. The Group provides dealers with display areas, and cars for display, and for sale, and charges

display fees till the cars are sold. Before the ownership of cars is transferred to dealers, the cars are treated

as the Group’s inventories.

Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor

an interest in a joint venture.

The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates and joint ventures.

Under the equity method, investments in an associate and a joint venture are initially recognized at cost and

adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of

the associate. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of equity of associates and

joint ventures attributable to the Group.

Page 21: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 20 -

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets

and liabilities of an associate at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within

the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net

fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is

recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset

by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is

deducted from the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized

to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When a Group entity transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the

associate are recognized in the Group’ consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the

associate that are not related to the Group.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (including assets held under finance leases) are stated at cost, less recognized

accumulated depreciation and recognized accumulated impairment loss.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each

significant part is depreciated separately. If the lease term is shorter than the useful lives, assets are

depreciated over the lease term. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are

reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a

prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds

and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

Intangible Assets

a. Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and

subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss.

Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and

amortization method are reviewed by the Company at the end of each reporting period, with the effect

of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite

useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

b. Derecognition of intangible assets

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the

carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible

assets for any indication of impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the

asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to

estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the

cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for

impairment at least annually, and wherever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Page 22: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 21 -

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable

amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying

amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting

impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit

is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount

(amortization or depreciation subtracted) that would have been determined had no impairment loss been

recognized on the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is

recognized in profit or loss.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual

provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are

directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets, and financial liabilities (other than

financial assets, and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the

financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly

attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized

immediately in profit or loss.

a. Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized, and derecognized on a settlement

date basis.

1) Measurement category

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL,

held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.

a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial assets is either held for trading or

it is designated as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gain or loss arising on

remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described

in Note 31.

b) Held-to-maturity financial assets

The central government bond which the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold until

maturity is classified as held-to maturity financial assets.

After initial recognition, held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the

effective interest method less any impairment.

c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as

available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Page 23: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 22 -

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amount

of available-for-sale monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency exchange

rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on

available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the

carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive

income and accumulated under the investments revaluation reserve account. When the

investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss that was

previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve account is reclassified to profit or

loss.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the

Company’s right to receive the dividends is established.

d) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and trade receivables, finance

lease receivables, debt investments with no active market and other receivables) are measured at

amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment, except for short-term

receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Cash equivalent includes time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of

acquisition, highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash, and subject to an

insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of

meeting short-term cash commitments.

2) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those measured at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at

the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered when there is objective evidence

that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset,

the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as notes and trade receivables, finance lease

receivables and other receivables, assets are assessed for objective evidence of impairment

collectively even if they have been assessed as not impaired individually. Objective evidence of

impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting

payments, and an increase in the number of delayed payments, as well as observable changes in

national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on trade receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, impairment loss recognized is the difference between

the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the

financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

If the impairment loss decreases, and the decrease can be related objectively to events occurring

after the recognition of impairment, the previously recognized impairment losses is reversed

through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the

impairment is reversed do not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment

not been recognized.

For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the

security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses

previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period

the asset is impaired.

Page 24: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 23 -

In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or

loss is not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment

loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. In respect of available-for-sale debt securities,

the impairment loss is subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of

the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the

impairment loss.

3) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the

assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of

ownership of the asset to another party.

On the full derecognition of a financial asset, the differences between the assets’ carrying amount,

and the sum of the consideration received, and receivable, and the cumulative gain or loss that had

been recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss.

b. Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as

equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a

financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue

costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from

equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the

Company’s own equity instruments.

c. Financial liabilities

1) Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities, other than those measured at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost using the

effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liabilities are held for trading.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on

remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in

Note 31.

2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes financial liabilities only when the contractual obligation is dissolved,

canceled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability

derecognized, and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss.

d. Convertible bonds

Convertible bonds issued by the Group are classified into financial liabilities and equity separately in

accordance to the nature of the contractual arrangements, and the definitions of financial liability, and

equity instrument.

Page 25: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 24 -

Upon initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing

market interest rate for similar nonconvertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on

an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or on

bond maturity. Any embedded derivative liability is measured at fair value.

The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability

component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. The conversion option is

recognized, and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In

addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity, and when the conversion

option is exercised, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share

premium. When the conversion option remains unexercised on bond maturity, the balance recognized

in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premium. No gain or loss is recognized in profit

or loss upon conversion or upon expiration of the conversion option.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability and equity

components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds.

e. Derivative financial instruments

The Group manages its exposure to interest rate risks and foreign exchange rate risks through derivative

financial instruments - interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into, and

are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain

or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately, but if the derivative is designated, and effective as a

hedging instrument, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge

relationship. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the derivative is

recognized as a financial asset; otherwise, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Hedge Accounting

The Group designates certain hedging instruments as cash flow hedges.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated, and qualify as cash flow

hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss on the ineffective portion is

recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Group revokes the designated hedging

relationship; when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; or when the hedging

instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting.

The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been previously recognized in other

comprehensive income from the period when the hedge was effective remains separately in equity until the

forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss

accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Provisions

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at

the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks, and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

Page 26: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 25 -

The Group’s provision is for contracts with guarantees which include (1) car loan contracts signed by the

Group’s customers with financial institutions in which the Group provides payment guarantees as well as

account management services; the Group is responsible for the collection of loan repayments and will

assume the risk of loss on uncollectable loans in the event of default; (2) assessed free service costs that the

Group may incur during the warranty period. The provision is subsequently measured under IAS 37

“Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

a. Rental income

A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks, and rewards upon transfer

of property or asset. Otherwise, it is classified as an operating lease.

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognized as receivables at the amount of the

Group’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to

reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment outstanding on the leases.

Rental income from an operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

b. Sales revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

1) The Group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the buyer;

2) The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement nor effective control over the goods

sold;

3) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

4) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and

5) The transaction costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

c. Interest revenue from acquired accounts receivable.

The Company, Shinshin and Yu Rich undertake business regarding the acquisition of accounts

receivable. After transferring accounts receivable, the seller is not responsible for unpaid overdue

accounts of the debtor. The difference between acquisition payment, and account receivable principal

is recognized as unearned interest revenue, and amortized as interest revenue from acquired accounts

receivable using effective interest method throughout the contract term. In addition, the deferred gain

recognized from acquiring the service contract between third party, and financial institutions is

recognized evenly throughout the contract period as interest revenue from acquired accounts receivable.

d. Installment sales interest revenue

The main business of the Company and Shinshin is installment financing services. The difference

between installment price and sales price is recognized as unrealized interest revenue, and is recognized

as installment sales interest revenue using interest method during the installment period. Unrealized

interest revenue is deducted from notes, and accounts receivable.

Page 27: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 26 -

e. Interest revenue from loan

Yulon Motor Finance (China) Co., Ltd. engages in vehicle and dealer operating equipment loans in

China. The difference between payment, and loan principal is recognized as unearned interest revenue,

and amortized as interest revenue from loan using effective interest method throughout the loan period.

f. Agency revenue

The customers of the Company and Shinshin signed car loan contracts with banks. The Company and

Shinshin act as car loan agents and provided customers with account management services. Under the

contracts, banks pay agency fees to the Company and Shinshin based on the payment terms of each

contract. The Company and Shinshin recognize this agency revenue on an accrual basis. The

Company and Shinshin are responsible for repaying any uncollectable loans arising from customer

defaults.

g. Other operating revenue

Other operating revenue is recognized when the profit earning process is complete or near complete,

and realized or realizable. Related cost is recognized under matching principle.

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and

rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Government Grants

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the

conditions attached to them, and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the

Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should buy, construct or

otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue, and transferred to profit or loss on

a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Employee Benefits

a. Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted

amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

b. Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when

employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Page 28: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 27 -

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit

retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including

current service cost), and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as

employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and

losses, and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income

in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is

reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Group’s defined benefit

plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from

the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

c. Termination benefits

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the Group can no longer

withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the Group recognizes any related restructuring

costs.

Taxation

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

a. Current tax

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 the retention of these earnings.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

b. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and

liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all future taxable temporary differences. Deferred

tax assets are generally recognized for all future deductible temporary differences and unused loss

carryforward to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available for deduction.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in

subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint arrangements, except where the Group is able to

control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not

reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences

associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that

there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences

and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and

reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to

allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Previously unrecognized deferred tax assets are also

reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that they have become

probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Page 29: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 28 -

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in

which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted

or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax

liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences of how the Company expects, at the end of the

reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

c. Current and deferred tax

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are

recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred

tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where

current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is

included in the accounting for the business combination.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION

UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments,

estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets, and liabilities that are not readily apparent

from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience, and

other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting

estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period

or in the period of the revision, and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Main source of assumptions and uncertainties are as follows. Such assumptions and uncertainties may

lead to material adjustments toward to assets, and liabilities in the following fiscal year.

Estimated Impairment of Trade Receivable

When there is objective evidence of impairment loss, the Company takes into consideration the estimation

of future cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s

carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s

original effective interest rate. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material

impairment loss may arise.

Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment

The impairment of property, plant and equipment was based on the recoverable amount of those assets,

which is the higher of their fair value less costs to disposal or their value in use. Any changes in the

market price or future cash flows will affect the recoverable amount of those assets, and may lead to

recognition of additional loss or reversal of impairment losses.

Accounts receivable, net $ 91,141,763 $ 74,565,700

a. Installment account receivables

Installment accounts receivable include accounts receivable from acquisitions, installment sales, and

promotions of car loans.

Principal and interest are collected monthly. For delayed payments, interest is accrued on the basis of

the number of days that payments are overdue. Based on past experience and macroeconomic factors,

the overdue receivables that are over 180 days due are considered uncollectible or default will likely

occur. Therefore, for receivables which remain unsettled after 180 days of due date, the amounts are

written off. For receivables within the above mentioned time period, uncollectable amounts are

estimated according to past experience and macroeconomic factors.

Page 33: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 32 -

b. Non-installment accounts receivable

These are mainly accounts receivable for auto vehicles on display. Most of the related customers are

car dealers within Yulon Group; the accounts receivable did not exhibit signs of default or impairment.

The clients of the Group are widely dispersed and are unrelated; thus, credit risk is limited.

30 consecutive days or the total amount outstanding is below 10% of the amount at initial issuance, the

Company has the right to redeem all of the bonds outstanding at face value.

Thirty days before the end of the three years from the bond issuance, bondholders have the right to

exercise their put options and can request that the Company redeem the convertible bonds at face value.

As of June 20, 2016 (the maturity date of redemption), there was no redemption right which had been

exercised by bondholders.

The convertible bond has two components: The liability component and the equity component

accounted for as “capital surplus - options.” This capital surplus was initially recognized at $179,204

thousand. Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity component of the

convertible bonds on the basis of the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity component when

the bonds are initially recognized. Derivative and non-derivative components recognized amounted to

NT$6,489 thousand and NT$2,322,657 thousand, respectively.

The convertible bonds issued by the Company have been converted into common stocks on October

2016.

22. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

The Group adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed

defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’

individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

Page 46: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 45 -

b. Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plan adopted by the Group in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated

by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average

monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Group contributes amounts equal to 2% of

total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring

committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name.

Before the end of each year, the Group assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the

balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to

retirement requirements in the next year, the Group is required to fund the difference in one

appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is

managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (“the Bureau”); the Group has no right to

influence the investment policy and strategy.

The amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet in respect of the Group’s defined benefit plans

were as follows:

December 31

2017 2016

Present value of defined benefit obligation $ 202,714 $ 184,376

(Concluded)

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Group is exposed to the

following risks:

1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities,

bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the

mandated management. However, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the

interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the

defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the

plan’s debt investments.

3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the

future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will

increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by

qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were

as follows:

December 31

2017 2016

Discount rate 1.13%-1.38% 0.88%-1.50%

Long-term average adjustment rate of salary 2.25%-3.00% 2.25%-3.00%

Page 48: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 47 -

If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other

assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase

(decrease) as follows:

December 31

2017 2016

Discount rate

0.25% increase $ (5,597) $ (5,296)

0.25% decrease $ 5,823 $ 5,518

Long-term average adjustment rate of salary

0.25% increase $ 5,642 $ 5,348

0.25% decrease $ (5,453) $ (5,161)

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present

value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in

isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The average due date of the Group’s expected defined benefit plan and defined benefit obligation within

1 year is as follows:

December 31

2017 2016

The expected contributions to the plan for the next year $ 3,485 $ 2,732

The average duration of the defined benefit obligation 10.0-14.2 years 9.9-14.7 years

23. EQUITY

a. Common stock capital

December 31

2017 2016

Number of stocks authorized (in thousands) 350,000 350,000

Stocks authorized $ 3,500,000 $ 3,500,000

Number of stocks issued and fully paid (in thousands) 274,629 274,629

Stocks issued $ 2,746,292 $ 2,746,292

Fully paid common stocks, which have a par value of $10, carry one vote per stock and carry a right to

dividends.

The change of the Company’s capital is due to convertible bonds converted into common stocks.

Page 49: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 48 -

b. Capital surplus

December 31

2017 2016

May be used to offset a deficit, distributed as cash dividends, or

transferred to capital stock

Recognized from issuance of common stocks (1) $ 2,539,791 $ 2,539,791

May be used to offset a deficit only

Changes in percentage of ownership interest in subsidiaries (2) 1,017 1,017

Recognized from change in capital surplus of associates or

joint venture 1,152 1,152

$ 2,541,960 $ 2,541,960

1) The capital surplus recognized from stocks issued in excess of par may be used to offset a deficit; in

addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash

dividends or transferred to capital stock (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital

surplus).

2) The capital surplus arose from the effect of changes in ownership interest that resulted from equity

transactions other than actual disposal or acquisition.

c. Retained earnings and dividends policy

In accordance with the amendments to the Company Act in May 2015, the recipients of dividends and

bonuses are limited to shareholders and do not include employees. The shareholders held their regular

meeting on June 22, 2016 and, in that meeting, had resolved amendments to the Company’s Articles of

Incorporation (the “Articles”), particularly the amendment to the policy on dividends distribution and

the addition of the policy on the distribution of employees’ compensation.

Under the dividends policy as set forth in the amended Articles, where the Company made profit in a

fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting

aside as a legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit unless the legal reserve equals the Company’s

paid-in capital, setting aside or reversing special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations,

and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the

Company’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in

the shareholders’ meeting for the distribution of dividends and bonuses to shareholders.

1) The Company’s operating environment is in a mature industry. The Company shall consider

profitability, future operating plans and funding needs, industry conditions, shareholders’ rights and

a balanced dividends policy in the distribution of earnings. Dividends may be paid in cash or

stock, and should not be lower than 50% of distributable net profit. Each year’s cash dividends

should not be lower than 20% of total dividends.

2) The Company shall not pay dividends or bonuses if there is no surplus of earnings.

3) Where the legal reserve is distributed by issuing new shares or by cash, only the portion of legal

reserve in excess of 25% of the paid-in capital may be distributed.

For the policies on the distribution of employee’s compensation and remuneration of directors and

supervisors before and after amendment, refer to employees’ compensation and remuneration of

directors and supervisors in Note 25 f.

Page 50: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 49 -

Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s

paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the

legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be either transferred

to capital or distributed in cash.

Except for non-ROC resident shareholders, all shareholders receiving the dividends are allowed a tax

credit equal to their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Company.

The appropriations of earnings for 2016 and 2015 approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June 27,

2017 and June 22, 2016, respectively, were as follows:

Appropriation of Earnings Dividends Per Share (NT$)

The appropriations of earnings for 2017 had been proposed by the Company’s board of directors on

March 26, 2018. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

Legal reserve $ 232,423

Reversal of special reserve 35,588

Special reserve 81,580

Cash dividends 1,620,312 $5.90

The appropriations of earnings for 2017 are subject to the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting to be

held on June 26, 2018.

d. Special reserve

Items referred to under Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and in the

directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of

IFRSs” should be appropriated to or reversed from a special reserve by the Company.

The Company’s special reserve appropriated following first-time adoption of IFRSs was $35,588

thousand.

According to the regulation of special reserve appropriation, additional special reserve should be

appropriated at the amount equal to the difference between the net debit balance of reserves and the

amount of special reserve that was appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRSs. Any special

reserve appropriation may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and thereafter

distributed. In 2017 and 2016, since the Company had a net debit balance, special reserve was

appropriated from the earnings following these rules.

26. INCOME TAXES

a. Income tax recognized in profit or loss

The major components of tax expense were as follows:

Income tax expense recognized in profit or loss $ 688,101 $ 467,835

Page 55: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 54 -

A reconciliation of accounting profit and current income tax expenses is as follows:

For the Year Ended December 31

2017 2016

Profit before tax from continuing operations $ 3,217,382 $ 2,305,472

Income tax expense calculated at the statutory rate $ 771,505 $ 551,838

Add (deduct) tax effect of

Nondeductible expenses in determining taxable income 4,627 906

Tax-exempt income (157,593) (117,948)

Unrecognized temporary differences 64,803 29,894

Additional income tax on unappropriated earnings 3,607 13

Adjustments for prior years’ tax 1,152 3,132

Income tax expense recognized in profit or loss $ 688,101 $ 467,835

The applicable tax rate used above is the corporate tax rate of 17% payable by the Group in ROC.

In February 2018, it was announced by the President that the Income Tax Act in the ROC was amended

and, starting from 2018, the corporate income tax rate will be adjusted from 17% to 20%. In addition,

the rate of the corporate surtax applicable to 2018 unappropriated earnings will be reduced from 10% to

5%. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognized as at December 31, 2017 are expected

to be adjusted and would increase by $71,331 thousand and $135,155 thousand, respectively, in 2018.

As the status of the 2018 appropriation of earnings is uncertain, the potential income tax consequences

of the 2017 unappropriated earnings are not reliably determinable.

d. The purpose and strategy of financial risk management

The objective of financial risk management policy of the Group is to identify and analyze the financial

risk the Group faces, to assess its impact and to execute financial risk avoidance policy. Financial risk

management policy is periodically reviewed and monitored, through in depth and broad risk analysis

report of the financial risk of the Group, to reflect market conditions and daily operation of the

Company and subsidiaries. Financial risks include market risk (foreign exchange rate risk, interest

rate risk, other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency

exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below).

a) Foreign currency risk

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and

monetary liabilities (including the non-functional currency monetary items that have been

written off within the consolidated statement) and of the derivatives are exposed to foreign

currency risk at the end of the reporting period (see Note 34).

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the fluctuation of USD and RMB.

Page 64: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 63 -

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in New

Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The

sensitivity rate of 5% is used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key

management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible

change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign

currency denominated monetary items, and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting

period for a 5% change in foreign currency rates.

2017 2016 2017 2016

Profit or loss $ (56,457) $ (51,703) $ 5 $ 6

b) Interest rate risk

The Group issues corporate bonds, issues fixed rate commercial paper and enters into New

Taiwan dollar interest rate swap contracts according to market and capital conditions, in order to

reduce the risk of increasing interest expense due to rising interest rates.

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to

interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

December 31

2017 2016

Fair value interest rate risk

Financial assets $ 81,876,480 $ 75,014,705

Financial liabilities 88,282,418 75,635,800

Cash flow interest rate risk

Financial assets 2,967,908 2,449,217

Financial liabilities 21,969,151 12,399,641

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates

for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period.

If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant,

the Group’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 would decrease by

$47,503 thousand and $24,876 thousand, respectively.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in securities.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at

the end of the reporting period.

If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, fair values of

available-for-sale investments would have decreased/increased by $986 thousand and $1,512

thousand, respectively.

Page 65: Taiwan Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries

- 64 -

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in

financial loss to the Group. To enhance the Group’s credit risk control mechanism, the Group

exchanges information with companies within its industry to build customer blacklists. Also, the

Group reviews customers’ credit statuses through China Credit Information Service Ltd. upon

approval of each loan. These procedures are taken as ways of preventing losses due to fraud.

The clients of the Group are widely dispersed and are unrelated; thus, credit risk is limited.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group analyzes its assets and liabilities to examine capital shortages on a monthly basis.

Adequate liquidity ratio and high quality current assets are also maintained simultaneously. The

management monitors the usage of credit limits to ensure compliance with loan contracts.

Liquidity and interest risk tables

The following table shows the remaining contractual maturity of the Group’s non-derivative

financial liabilities with agreed-upon repayment periods. The table had been drawn up on the

basis of the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the

Company is required of payment.
