4. Business development:
In Taiwan, Ma Kuang Health Lohas Museum is building in Donggang, Pingtung in 2014 and is expected to provide the health management and cosmetic medicine, etc. in 2015. In addition to providing high quality health services to local people, medical tourism services will also be promoted. In order to provide people with better health care services, the resources will be integrated continually, including cosmetic medicine, dentistry and confinement center, etc.
In Singapore, we currently have 22 health care facilities and 2 Chinese medicine beauty institutions. The chain Chinese medicine clinic mainly provides the traditional Chinese medicine outpatient service and related product selling. In addition, the company's Wong Yiu Nam Medical Hall Pte. Ltd is active in the development of TCM modernization by building a network mall to provide a more convenient service to local people. The scale of health management service will be expanded continuously in 2014 so that more services can be obtained by local people closely. Besides, two Singapore management institutes will be acquired in 2014 to provide the transnational health care skill education training and exchange, continuously improve the service level and attract overseas students, from which Ma Kuang can select the outstanding talents.
The mainland China continues to promote health care reform in recent years, and the Twelfth Five-year Plan also lists the improvement of people’s medical level and health as important projects. Since 2012, Ma Kuang has established a chain community health care network in Tianjin, which has 15 bases. In 2014, in addition to continuously establishing the chain service base, we also plans to open the general hospital of Grade II and establish the patient distribution cooperation mechanism with many Grade III Class A hospitals in Tianjin to create a better health care service network for the community. Moreover, MKH-SG will step into the pension, health management and professional health care training, etc. to raise the health service to a more comprehensive health care service level.
With the establishment and promotion of the Twelfth Five-year Plan in Chinese mainland, there are unlimited business opportunities for the medical field as these policies promote and strengthen its demand in Chinese mainland market. The Company has a long-term strategy, carefully selects local partners, focuses on the health industry for many
3
years and accumulates over twenty years of professional experience. We will provide people around the world with a more convenient health care service through the integration of resources and expansion of the service scope in a chain way in the future. We will continue to expand the service scope in Taiwan, Singapore & Malaysia and mainland China and refine the professional service through the transnational education mechanism to become a multinational chain healthcare group in Asia, which pays equal attention to quantity and quality.
We hope that each shareholder can adhere to your support and affirmation for the Company, and continue to provide us with your encouragement and advice. All employees of the Company will do our best to create a profitable return for our shareholders. Finally, on behalf of all employees of Ma Kuang Healthcare Holding Limited, we would like to express our most sincere gratitude and blessings to all shareholders.
Sincerely, May you good health! Wish you all the best!

their responsibilities of developing, implementing and maintaining
the Company’s internal control system, and such a system has

system is to reasonably assure the following objectives: the
effectiveness and efficiency of business operation (including
earnings, operating performance and the safeguard of company
assets); the reliability of the financial and related reports; and the
compliance of the relevant laws/regulations and company policies.
II. Due to the innate limitation in designing a faultless internal control system,
this system can only assure the reasonableness of the above three

environmental or situation changes. Since the Company’s internal control
system has included self-examination capability, the Company will make

2. Where a company has retained a CPA to audit its internal control system, the
auditor's report issued by the CPA shall be disclosed:
Review Report of Internal Control System
The accompanying internal control system related to the financial reporting
and safeguarding of asset security of Ma Kuang Healthcare Holding Limited as of
March 26, 2014 was the effective statement of design and implementation on
January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 and was reviewed by us. Maintaining an
effective internal control system and evaluating its effectiveness is the
responsibility of the Company’s management, while expressing opinions on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control system and internal control
system statement of public companies based on the review result is our
responsibility.
We plan and implement the review work according to “Guidelines for the
Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies” and generally
accepted audit principles, to reasonably assure whether the company’s internal
control system above maintains effectiveness in all major aspects. This review
includes the understanding of the company’s internal control system, evaluation
on the management’s evaluation process for the effectiveness of overall internal
control system, testing and evaluation of design and implementation effectiveness
of the internal control system, and other review procedures that we think are
necessary. We believe that this review can provide a reasonable basis for the
opinions expressed.
Any internal control system has its own inherent limitation, therefore the
above internal control system of Ma Kuang Healthcare Holding Limited still has
the error or fraud that has occurred but fails to prevent or detect. In addition, as
the future circumstance may change and the compliance with the internal control
system may also be reduced, the internal control system that is valid in this period
does not mean that it will be certainly effective in the future.
In our opinion, evaluated according to the evaluation of effectiveness of the
internal control in the “Guidelines for the Establishment of Internal Control
Systems by Public Companies”, the design and implementation of Ma Kuang
Healthcare Holding Limited's internal control system with respect to its financial
reporting and safeguarding of asset security dated from January 1, 2013 to
December 31, 2013 can maintain the effectiveness in all major aspects; the above
47
internal control system issued by Ma Kuang Healthcare Holding Limited on March
26, 2014, which is evaluated as association with its financial reporting and
safeguarding of asset security, is the effective statement of design and
implementation and is suitable in all major aspects.

Where, all healthcare products and those that can enhance immunity are

(ii) Overview of industry: the current status and development of the industry, the links
between the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments of the industry
supply chain, and development trends and competition for the company's products.
1. Current status and development of industry
The company mainly operates in Singapore, supplemented by medical
services in Taiwan and regarding Tianjin, China as the major target of current
and recent developments; the key industries and development of the Company
are described as follows:
Currently, the Singapore company has a total population of about 5 million
people and adopts a western–based health care, and people still have to
receive the Chinese medicine treatment at their own expenses. Singapore
adopts the western model of social operation framework and has a
western-based medicine industry complemented and supplemented by the
traditional Chinese medicine; until recent years, with the rapid growth of
71
Chinese proprietary medicine in the world market, many Singaporeans get to
know the Chinese medicine, and Singapore Association of Traditional Chinese
Physicians also often organize or participate in Chinese medicine academic
conferences in the South-East Asia Region. According to China’s Health
Department of Jiangxi Province estimates, up to 2006, the number of patients
receiving the Chinese medicine treatment in Singapore accounts for about 45%
of the total population, and 10,000 people receive the Chinese medicine
treatment in the country every day, accounting for about 12% of the total
outpatients. Currently, TCM patients still have to receive the treatment at their
own expenses, and private clinics still cannot enjoy government subsidies and
be supported by the health insurance program.
Currently, there are more than 600 Chinese medicine clinics throughout city
streets and commercial buildings in Singapore. Among more than 5 million
people of Singapore, over 70% of them are Chinese, so the Chinese medicine is
widely favored; many Malays, Indians and Europeans (all are Singapore
residents) believe the Chinese medicine as well.
In Singapore, when treating patients, Chinese medicine hospitals and
Chinese medicine clinics rely solely on the methods of “looking, smelling and
hearing, questioning and palpating” and differentiation without any western
medicines (the diagnosis and laboratory test report of the western hospital can
be used as reference). The TCM medicine is subject to strict laws, and only
Chinese medicinal material and Chinese proprietary medicine are allowed to be
used, to truly take advantages of TCM differentiation and treatment.
The Chinese medicine, acupuncture and TuiNa service are provided, and
the foot massage with health care is also available in some clinics.
On the whole, the Chinese medicine has been regarded as a very common
treatment; however, the different health policies of national governments limit
the development of the Chinese medicine industry and no entrepreneurial and
large-scale operator occur at present, therefore the enterprise who devotes to
the Chinese medicine industry still has huge market potential.

Group is mainly engaged in Chinese medicine outpatient services and
selling of traditional Chinese medicines and healthcare products, which is of
the distribution type. Medicinal plants, animals and mineral are raised and
collected by the upstream industry, and processed and dried to traditional
Chinese medicinal materials, which are processed and concentrated to
scientific Chinese medicines and Chinese proprietary medicines selling to
consumers through TCM pharmacies and Chinese medicine hospitals.
3. Development trends and competition for product market
(1) TCM diagnosis service, acupuncture and TuiNa
TCM diagnosis service
The Group provides the TCM treatment service for common diseases,
such as common cold, cough and flu, as well as other diseases, which
includes hypertension, diabetes, kidney diseases, skin diseases and infertility,
etc. Unlike the western medicine, the methods (Chinese proprietary medicine
or technology, such as acupuncture, TuiNa, cupping and TDP lamp, etc.)
provided by Ma Kuang group can treat various diseases and relevant
symptoms, determine the imbalance part, and differentiate the treatment with
no side effects. TCM also provides the non-surgical method to treat certain
diseases.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture refers to using a tiny silver needle to penetrate the skin by a
Chinese doctor to stimulate a certain acupuncture point of the body for
medical purposes. The Chinese doctor believes that many acupuncture points
are connected to all parts of the body. Acupuncture is believed to balance “yin”
and “yang” of the body so that the body can maintain normal, flow and smooth,
thus recovering the health. In particular, the acupuncture can work wonders in
human illness prevention and mitigation, health care and diet, etc. that the
western medical does not have. In the USA, the Food and Drug Administration
approved the use of acupuncture in the treatment by the medical staff in 1966.
Currently, the WHO has established several cooperative research centers of
traditional medicine and pharmacology.
TuiNa
TuiNa can be used to treat certain diseases, such as muscle aches, fatigue,
stress and insomnia, etc.
(2) Selling of Chinese medicinal materials and healthcare products
Currently, Ma Kuang group sells nearly 30 healthcare products, such as
Ma Kuang Antrodia King, Care Joints, Guei Lug Ell Shian Wan and Tian Ma
73
Buu Shin Dan, etc.; in addition, WYN-SG of the Group also engaged in selling
of traditional Chinese medicinal materials.
In recent years, European and American countries invest heavily in the
research of TCM science, making the traditional Chinese medicine gradually
combine with the technology, and explains its effects and methods with the
scientific method; but its essence and basic therapy do not change, therefore
the Company expects that the future Chinese medicine therapy and product
will improve and develop continuously at a steady rate without a substantial
change and innovation.
(iii) Technology and R&D:
The Group is engaged in Chinese Medicine Services and selling of
Chinese medicinal materials and healthcare products, and does not have any
R&D plan of producing our own products during the most recent fiscal year or
during the current fiscal year up to the date of printing of the annual report.

3. Business goals
Currently, the world’s patient population only accounts for 10% of the total
population, but the “sub-healthy” population with the daily care and preventive
76
health care accounts for 75% of the total population, therefore, in addition to
continuously expanding the existing chain of medical clinics in the future, the
Group will also take “sub-healthy” healthcare products as an important
development goal, actively develop health care and medical beauty products,
increase the company’s profits and pursue the maximum interests of
shareholders.
4. Competitive strategies
The Group’s core business is to provide the TCM consulting service and
product, and face the competition in the quality and cost from existing
competitors and new market players, including Chinese medicine clinic in the
public hospital, charitable medicine clinic, and Chinese medicine clinic attached
to the pharmacy.
(1) Singapore market
Singapore Chinese medicine clinics do not have the similar health care
system as Taiwan, so they can be managed in a commercial business mode,
target specific customer group and increase the profitability. Therefore, the
Company is much more competitive than the general traditional independent
operating Chinese medicine clinic and Chinese medicine shop.
(2) Taiwan market
Deeply rooted in Taiwan TCM system for more than two decades, Ma
Kuang has a strong leadership in TCM in terms of its management intensity, and
develops a certain degree of loyal customers, expertise and services to
cooperate with the brand’s derivative effect. These advantages are enough to
become a operating niche for the local medical management service.
(3) Chinese market
Currently, China highly encourages and guides the private capital to
develop medical and health services, and actively promotes the development of
non-public medical and healthcare institutions, and form a health care system
with multiple categories of investors and diversified investment modes.
Meanwhile, efforts have been made to regulate the access conditions of foreign
capital for sponsoring health care institutions, and complete sector-wide
administration policies featuring fairness and justice, with the purpose of
improving the local healthcare quality and serious shortage of medical
resources; after the rigorous market research, the Company sets up community
health establishment plans by understanding and obtaining preferential local
health policies through channels and cooperating with government policies, and
develops a mutual promotion and development medical pattern with local
governments; the Company introduces the medical expertise and service quality,
high-quality healthcare team, and perfect and convenient healthcare system in
77
Singapore and Malaysia; open the network according to the needs of local
residents to facilitate the people for medical treatment; the professional fresh
healthcare system that meets the market demand and complies with
management policies has a strong competitive in the local medical market.

every year, and the Group’s average number of consultations are over 150,000
people in the past three years, which accounts for about 10%~15% of
Singapore’s TCM clinics, leading the industry in the number of bases and visits.

The global market demand for TCM products can be seen from the table
above, and the compound annual growth rate reaches 11.5% in 1995 to 2000,
indicating that the industry is flourishing. But the growth has slowed down since
2000 with the annual growth rate of about 5%, mainly due to the rise of
customers’ health consciousness; in addition to valuing the effect of various
healthcare products, increasing attention has been paid to their safety, thus
gradually decreasing the purchasing behavior generated by the false
propaganda.
In recent years, as the people using the traditional Chinese medicine,
acupuncture and TuiNa for treatment continue to rise all over the world, some
countries and regions also clearly stipulate the legal qualification of TCM and
acupuncture therapy. Changes in the international market also contribute to
relevant investments in the TCM industry. Traditional Chinese doctors are
undergoing a profound change in their position in the world, and traditional
Chinese medicines have become a rapidly developing traditional industry.
4. Competitive niche
(1) After decades of development, the Group has a record of treating more than 1
million patients in Singapore and Malaysia, of which about 70% is patients with
subsequent visits. Nearly 500 customers visit each chain hospital of Ma Kuang
Healthcare every day. The brand image has been deeply rooted in people’s
minds.
(2) The Group has a strong team of traditional Chinese physicians, many of whom
are leading physicians with more than 10 years of average clinical experience
from Taiwan, China, etc., which are the Company’s largest competitive niche.
(3) Setting up a wide and integrated TCM clinic network, the Company has 22
TCM clinics in Singapore and 3 TCM clinics in Malaysia. Most clinics are
79
located in the suburb of relatively high population density to facilitate the
patient for seeking medical advice and attract business. In addition, each clinic
sets up a connected ERP system to computerize medical records of patients
and make them receive the most complete and proper treatment in each clinic.
(4) The Company obtained ISO9001 quality certification in 2006; the medical
consultation and treatment, medical record management and storage, product
procurement and after-sales service, and maintenance and service of the
medical equipment can ensure that patients can enjoy high quality and
consistent Chinese medicine services.
(5) Ma Kuang Healthcare is a leading brand in the Chinese medicine industry of
Singapore and Malaysia, will continue to focus on developing the derivative
market in the area, extend outward by using the niche, and create a better
corporate image in the future.
5. Positive and negative factors for future development and the company's
response to such factors
(1) Positive factors
Singapore market
A. The brand and service lead the industry with a good corporate image, and
the company is in a leading position in the market;
B. The Singapore government encourages the investment and actively assists
the corporate in developing towards the international market.
Chinese market
A. Encourage and guide the private capital to develop medical and health
services, and introduce social funds to establish non-profit medical
institutions according to laws.
B. Establish comprehensive classification management policies and
preferential tax policies for the medical institution.
C. Strength the supervision of sponsoring health care institutions in the society
according to laws.
(2) Negative factors and response
Risks related to human resources
The excellent physicians developed by the Group has certain patient
resources, so the physicians have a large mobility and customers are lost as
the physicians may start their own businesses.
Response:
To address this risk, in addition to improving the service attitude of
medical team, the company shall strength the patient loyalty by using the
brand effect, and use the management system for traditional Chinese
80
physicians to deepen their identity and cohesion for the company, thus
minimizing the influence of this risk.
Country risk
Currently, Ma Kuang Healthcare has established the chain institution in
Singapore and Malaysia. Ma Kuang Healthcare is planning to expand to
other countries and regions with the commercial potential. Inherent risks in
the foreign business investment include: sudden changes in the local
government’s regulatory laws, difficulties in the management of overseas
businesses and personnel, social and political instability, fluctuations in the
currency exchange rate, potential adverse tax, defect in the protection of
intellectual property rights, tariffs and other trade barriers, etc.
Response:
For this risk, the company will continuously carry out a good
communication with direct reporting units in those countries where the
company operates, know the latest information and upcoming laws, integrate
the resources in Asia through the most appropriate channel, and make the
best of inter-state cooperation mode, to control the operational direction and
financial condition.
(ii) Usage and manufacturing processes for main products
The Group is principally engaged in Chinese medicine outpatient services and
selling of traditional Chinese medicines and healthcare products; the TCM
diagnosis process is as shown in the figure below, where four diagnostic methods

etc.; “smelling and hearing” refers to listening to a patient’s talking, coughing and
breathing, and smelling whether the mouth or body of a patient stinks;
“questioning” refers to asking a patient's symptoms and disease history, etc.;
“palpating” refers to diagnosing whether there is any unusual symptom by feeling
the pulse with hands and pressing the abdomen.

Chinese medicine products (single active ingredient preparation, multiple active
ingredients preparation, pill, lozenge), TCM healthcare products (instant tea, fully
soluble products, heath care capsule) and Chinese prescription healthcare
products, etc. As the Company starts to be engaged in the procurement business
of medicines in 2013, Kaiser becomes our supplier, which becomes the
third-largest supplier of the Company in 2013.
The main products purchased by the Group include the medical diagnosis
and treatment related western medicines, Chinese proprietary medicines,
scientific Chinese medicine powders, Chinese medicinal materials and medical
consumables, etc., which are purchased from manufacturers of the best quality;
however, due to familiarity with this industry, although there are fixed suppliers, the
company has a dominant position as there are numerous sources of supply on the
market and most of them have a good cooperative relationship with the company,
thus avoiding the risk associated with any consolidation of purchasing operations.
In addition, the Company maintains a long-term friendly cooperative relationship
with each supplier, to ensure stability and reliability of supply sources and quality.

Note 3: The calculation of earning per share is adjusted retroactively accounting to the ratio
of capital increase after capitalization of profits.
Calculation formula of financial analysis: 1. Financial structure
(1) Debt ratio = total liabilities / total assets.
(2) Long-term funds to fixed assets = (shareholders’ equity + long-term liabilities) /
net fixed assets.
2. Solvency
(1) Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities.
(2) Quick ratio = (current assets – inventories – prepayments) / current liabilities.
(3) Number of times of interest assurances = (income before tax + interest
expense) / interest expense.
3. Operating ability
(1) Turnover rate of accounts receivable (times) = net sales / average accounts
receivable (include accounts receivable and notes receivable from sales)
(2) Average cashing days of receivables = 365 / turnover rate of accounts
receivable.
(3) Turnover rate of inventories = cost of sales / average inventories.
(4) Turnover rate of accounts payable (times) = cost of sales / average accounts
payable (include accounts payable and notes payable from operation).
(5) Number of average sales days = 365 / turnover rate of inventories.
(6) Turnover rate of fixed assets = net sales / net fixed assets.
(7) Turnover rate of total assets = net sales / total assets.
4. Profitability
(1) Return on assets = [net income + interest expense × (1 – tax rate)] / average
total assets.
(2) Return on equity = net income / average shareholders’ equity.
(3) Net profit ratio = net income / net sales.
(4) Earning per share = (net income – preferred stock dividend) / average
weighted outstanding stock.
5. Cash flow
(1) Ratio of cash flow = net cash provided by operating activities / current
liabilities.
100
(2) Ratio of cash flow adequacy = net cash provided by operating activities for
latest 5 years / (capital expenditure + inventories in increase + cash dividend) for
latest 5 years.
(3) Ratio of cash reinvestment = (net cash provided by operating activities - cash
dividend) / (gross value of fixed assets + long-term investments + other assets +
working capital).
6. Leverage:
(1) Operation leverage = (Net sales – variable operating cost and expense) /
operating income.
(2) Financial leverage = operating income / (operating income - interest expense).

(iv) Summarized illustration and reference point of important accounting
policies
1. Statement of compliance
The Group's consolidated financial statements of 2013 and 2012 have
been prepared in accordance with the Guidelines Governing the
Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the
International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting
Standards, and International Financial Reporting Interpretations
accepted by the FSC. 2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at
fair values. Unless otherwise stated, the unit of consolidated financial
statements is NT$1,000.
3. Overview of consolidation
Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements
The subsidiaries are fully incorporated into the consolidated financial
statements from the acquisition date (i.e. the date on which control is
transferred to the Group), until the control of subsidiaries is lost. The
accounting period and accounting policies of subsidiaries' financial
statements shall be in line with those of the parent company. All group's
internal account balances, transactions, and unrealized internal gains &
losses and dividends generated by the group's internal transactions are
eliminated.
If changes in shareholdings of subsidiaries do not cause control of
subsidiaries to be lost, the changes in equity shall be handled as the
equity transaction.
The total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to owners
of the parent company and non-controlling interests, even if the
non-controlling interests cause the deficit balance. If the Group losses the control of its subsidiaries: (1) Derecognize the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of
liabilities;
124
(2) Derecognize the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;
(3) Recognize the fair value of consideration obtained;
(4) Recognize the fair value of any investments retained;
(5) Recognize any gains or losses as current incomes;
(6) Reclassify the item amount recognized in other comprehensive
income by the parent company in the current income.

4. Foreign currency transaction
The consolidated financial statements of the Group are expressed in
the functional currency SGD of the Company. Each entity within the
group decides its functional currency at its sole discretion, in which its
financial statements are expressed.
The foreign currency transaction of entities within the group is
recognized by retranslating it to the functional currency at the
exchange rate at the trade date. At the end of each reporting period,
monetary items that are denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the closing rate of the day; non-monetary items
measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was
determined; non-monetary items measured by the historical cost that
are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates
prevailing at the original trade date.
Except for those described below, exchange differences arising on the
settlement or retranslation of monetary items are included in profit or
loss when incurred.
(1) For the foreign currency borrowing arising from obtaining the
qualifying asset, if its resulting exchange difference is considered as
the adjustment of interest cost as part of the borrowing cost, it shall be
capitalized as the cost of this asset.
(2) The foreign currency items that comply with the International
Accounting Standard 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement shall be handled according to the accounting policies
126
of financial instruments.
(3) The exchange difference arising from monetary items as part of the
reporting entity’s net investment on the foreign operation is
originally recognized in other comprehensive income and
reclassified in profit or loss from entity when disposing this net
investment.
When the gain or loss of non-monetary items is recognized in other
comprehensive income, any exchange component of the gain or loss
is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the gain or loss
of non-monetary items is recognized in profits or losses, any exchange
component of the gain or loss is recognized in profits or losses.
5. Translation of foreign currency financial statements
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the assets and
liabilities of the foreign operation are retranslated as SGD at the
closing rate at the balance sheet date, and the income and expense
item are retranslated at the current average rate. The exchange
difference arising from the retranslation is recognized in other
comprehensive income; when disposing the foreign operation, the
cumulative exchange difference of the separate component
recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the
equity is reclassified in profit or loss from entity when recognizing and
disposing profit or loss. When the control or joint control is lost and the
significant influence is made on the foreign operation but the shared
equity is retained, it shall be handled according to the disposal policy.
Without losing the control, when the partial disposal includes the
subsidiaries of the foreign operation, the cumulative exchange
difference recognized in other comprehensive income shall be
reattributed to non-controlling interests of the foreign operation
proportionally, rather than recognized in profit or loss; without losing
the significant influence or joint control, when the partial disposal
includes the associate or jointly controlled entity of the foreign
operation, the cumulative exchange difference shall be reclassified in
profit or loss proportionally.
The goodwill arising on the acquisition of the foreign operation by the
Group and fair value adjustment on the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities shall be regarded as assets and liabilities of the foreign
operation and reported in its functional currency.
6. Current / non-current assets and liabilities
127
Assets shall be classified as current in any of the following circumstances;
otherwise, they shall be classified as non-current:
(1) assets that are expected to be realized, sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle.
(2) assets that are held mainly for trading purposes. (3) assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months after
the reporting period. (4) Cash or cash equivalents, except for those that are restricted
when the assets are exchanged or used to pay off the liabilities at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Liabilities shall be classified as current in any of the following
circumstances; otherwise, they shall be classified as non-current:
(1) liabilities that are expected to be paid off in the normal operating cycle.
(2) liabilities that are held mainly for trading purposes. (3) liabilities that are expected to be due and paid off within twelve
months after the reporting period. (4) liabilities which the settlement period cannot be deferred
unconditionally at least twelve months after the reporting period. If the settlement is caused by choosing the terms of liabilities by the counterparty to issue the equity instrument, its classification will not be affected.
7. Cash and cash equivalents
The cash and cash equivalents are cash on hand, demand deposits,
and short-term and high liquidity investments that can be readily
converted to the fixed cash and have very little risk of changes in
value.
8. Financial instruments
The financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized only when
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
financial instrument.
The financial assets and financial liabilities that comply with the
International Accounting Standard 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement are measured at fair value at the initial
recognition, directly attributed to transaction costs acquired or issued
through financial assets and financial liabilities (except for those
classified as financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair
value through profit or loss), and added or deducted from the fair value
of financial assets and financial liabilities.
(1) Financial assets
128
The recognition and derecognition of the Group’s all financial assets with regular way purchase or sale are carried out by the CPA at the trade date. The financial assets of the Group can be classified into financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables. The classification is determined by its nature and purpose at the initial recognition of financial assets. Financial assets measured by fair value through profit or loss Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include assets held for trading and initial recognition, i.e. designation as at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if: A. it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short
term; B. on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial
instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
C. it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).
If a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire hybrid (combined) contract may be designated as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss; or a financial asset may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss when doing so results in more relevant information, because either: A. such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a
measurement or recognition inconsistency; or B. a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both is
managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis to the key management personnel.
Such financial assets are measured by fair value, and gains or losses resulting from their remeasurements are recognized as profit or loss, which include any dividend or interest generated by financial assets (included in those received in the year of investment). For such financial assets, if there is no active market quotation and a reliable fail value cannot be measured, they shall be measured at the amount deducting the impairment loss from the cost, and financial assets measured at the cost shall be reported in the balance sheets. Available-for-sale financial assets
129
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative, designated as available-for-sale, or not classified as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, or loans and receivables. The partial exchange difference of changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale monetary financial assets, interest income calculated at the effective interest rate for available-for-sale financial assets, and dividend income of available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. The changes in the carrying amount of remaining available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in the equity before derecognizing this investment; when derecognizing, the accumulation number previously recognized in the equity is reclassified in profit or loss. For the investment of equity instrument, if there is no active market quotation and a reliable fail value cannot be measured, they shall be measured at the amount deducting the impairment loss from the cost, and financial assets measured at the cost shall be reported in the balance sheets. Held-to-maturity financial assets If non-derivative financial assets have fixed or determinable payments and the Group has the positive intention and is able to hold to maturity, they shall be classified as held-to-maturity financial assets, excluding the following items: those designated as measurement at fair value through profit or loss at the initial recognition, designated as available-for-sale and meeting the definition of loans and receivables. Such financial assets are measured with the amount deducting the impairment loss from the amortized cost at the effective interest rate after the initial measurement. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs. The amortization of effective interest rate is recognized in profit or loss. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, and must meet the following conditions: the holder cannot recover almost all initial investments because of not classifying into assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, not designating as available-for-sale and factors other than credit deterioration. Such financial assets are presented independently in the balance sheet as accounts receivable and bond investment with no active market, and measured with the amount deducting the impairment loss from the amortized cost at the effective interest rate after the initial measurement. The amortized cost is calculated by taking the discount or premium and transaction cost when acquired into consideration. The amortization of effective interest rate is
130
recognized in profit or loss. Impairment of financial assets In addition to financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, other financial assets are evaluated for its impairment at the end of each reporting period; financial assets are impaired where 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 financial assets have been affected. Except that accounts receivable are reduced via the allowance account for decrease in the carrying amount of financial assets, the remaining are deducted from the carrying amount directly and its losses are recognized in profit or loss. When the fair value of available-for-sale equity investments is lower than the cost and has a significant or permanent decline, it will be considered to be an impairment. The impairment of other financial assets may include: (1) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or (2) a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or (3) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization; or (4) the disappearance of an active market for financial assets because of the issuer’s financial difficulties. For held-to-maturity financial assets and loans and receivables measured at amortized cost, the Group first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial asset that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exits for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate. Interest income is accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the asset, using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recognized in profit or loss, if there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collaterals
131
have been realized or transferred to the Group, loans together with the associated allowance are written off. Receivables together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery.
If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss
increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the
impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment
loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a
future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to profit or
loss.
In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale,
where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss -
measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the
current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment
previously recognized in profit or loss - is removed from other
comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss. Impairment
losses on equity investments are not reversed through profit or loss;
increases in their fair value after impairment are recognized directly in
other comprehensive income.
In the case of debt instruments classified as available-for-sale, the
amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as
the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value,
less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in
profit or loss. Future interest income continues to be accrued based
on the reduced carrying amount of the asset, using the rate of
interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of
measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recognized in
profit or loss. If, in a subsequent year, the fair value of a debt
instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to
an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit
or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized when:
(1) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.
(2) The Group has transferred the asset and substantially all the
risks and rewards of the asset have been transferred.
(3) The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially
all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control
of the asset.
132
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference
between the carrying amount and the consideration received or
receivable including any cumulative gain or loss that had been
recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or
loss.
If the assets transferred are part of a larger financial assets and the
parts transferred meet the derecognition wholly, the Group will
allocate the original carrying amount of financial assets to each part
based on the relative fair value of continuously recognized parts and
derecognized parts at the transfer date. The difference between the
carrying amount allocated to derecognized parts and the
consideration received for derecognized parts including any
cumulative gain or loss allocated to derecognized parts that had
been recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in
profit or loss. The Group allocates the cumulative gain or loss that
had been recognized in other comprehensive income to each part
based on the relative fair value of continuously recognized parts and
derecognized parts.
(2) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification of liabilities or equity
The Group classifies the instrument issued as a financial liability or
an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability, and
an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest
in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The equity
instrument issued by the Group is recognized with the amount
deducting the direct issuance cost from proceeds acquired.
Compound instruments
The Group evaluates the terms of the convertible bonds issued to
determine whether it contains both a liability and an equity
component. Furthermore, the Group assesses if the economic
characteristics and risks of the put and call options contained in the
convertible bonds are closely related to the economic characteristics
and risk of the host contract before separating the equity element. For the liability component excluding the derivatives, its fair value is determined based on the rate of interest applied at that time by the market to instruments of comparable credit status. The liability
133
component is classified as a financial liability measured at amortized cost before the instrument is converted or settled. For the embedded derivative that is not closely related to the host contract (for example, if the exercise price of the embedded call or put option is not approximately equal on each exercise date to the amortized cost of the host debt instrument), it is classified as a liability component and subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it qualifies for an equity component. The equity component is assigned the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined for the liability component. Its carrying amount is not remeasured in the subsequent accounting periods. If the convertible bond issued does not have an equity component, it is accounted for as a hybrid instrument in accordance with the requirements under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible bond based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are initially recognized. On conversion of a convertible bond before maturity, the carrying amount of the liability component being the amortized cost at the date of conversion is transferred to equity. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities measured at amortized cost upon initial recognition. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if: A. it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short
term; B. on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial
instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
C. it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).
If a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire hybrid (combined) contract may be designated as a financial liability
134
at fair value through profit or loss; or a financial liability may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss when doing so results in more relevant information, because either: A. such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a
measurement or recognition inconsistency; or B. a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both is managed
and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis to the key management personnel.
Gains or losses on the subsequent measurement of liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, including interest paid, are recognized in profit or loss. If the financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss do not have quoted prices in an active market and their fair value cannot be reliably measured, then they are classified as financial liabilities measured at cost on balance sheet and carried at cost as at the reporting date. Financial liabilities at amortized cost Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include interest bearing loans and borrowings that are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method after initial recognition. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate method amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs. Derecognition of financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor), such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
(3) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle
135
the liabilities simultaneously. (4) Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to quoted market prices, without any deduction for transaction costs. For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same; a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.
9. Derivative financial instrument
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign
currency risks and interest rate risks. A derivative is classified in the
balance sheet as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss (held for trading) except for derivatives that are
designated effective hedging instruments which are classified as
derivative financial assets or liabilities for hedging.
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on
the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as
financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial
liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising
from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit
or loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is
recognized in equity.
Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate
derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics
and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the
host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value
though profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at
fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
10. Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value item by
item.
Costs incurred in bringing each inventory to its present location and
condition are accounted for as follows:
Commodity – purchase cost on weighted average cost formula
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
136
11. Investments accounted for using the equity method
The Group’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the
equity method other than those that meet the criteria to be classified
as held for sale. An associate is an entity over which the Group has
significant influence.
Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in
the balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter for the
post-acquisition change in the Group’s share of net assets of the
associate. After the interest in the associate is reduced to zero,
additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to
the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations
or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains and
losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the
associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s related interest in
the associate.
When changes in the net assets of an associate occur and not those
that are recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income
and do not affects the Group’s percentage of ownership interests in
the associate, the Group recognizes such changes in equity based on
its percentage of ownership interests. The resulting capital surplus
recognized will be reclassified to profit or loss at the time of disposing
the associate on a pro-rata basis.
When the associate issues new stock, and the Group’s interest in an
associate is reduced or increased as the Group fails to acquire shares
newly issued in the associate proportionately to its original ownership
interest, the increase or decrease in the interest in the associate is
recognized in Additional Paid in Capital and Investment in associate.
When the interest in the associate is reduced, the cumulative amounts
previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified
to profit or loss or other appropriate items. The aforementioned capital
surplus recognized is reclassified to profit or loss on a pro rata basis
when the Group disposes the associate.
The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same
reporting period as the Group. Where necessary, adjustments are
made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.
The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any
objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired in
accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
137
Measurement. If this is the case the Group calculates the amount of
impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the
associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the
‘share of profit or loss of an associate’ in the statement of
comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of
Assets. In determining the value in use of the investment, the Group
estimates:
(1) Its share of the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the associate, including the cash flows from the operations of the associate and the proceeds on the ultimate disposal of the investment; or
(2) The present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from dividends to be received from the investment and from its ultimate disposal.
Because goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an
investment in an associate is not separately recognized, it is not tested
for impairment separately by applying the requirements for impairment
testing goodwill in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group
measures and recognizes any retaining investment at its fair value.
Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon
loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retaining
investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.
The Group recognizes its interest in the jointly controlled entities using
the equity method other than those that meet the criteria to be
classified as held for sale. A jointly controlled entity is a joint venture
that involves the establishment of a corporation, partnership or other
entity.
12. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost
includes the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring
the site on which it is located and borrowing costs for construction in
progress if the recognition criteria are met. Each part of an item of
property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation
to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. When significant
parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in
intervals, the Group recognized such parts as individual assets with
specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. The carrying
138
amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized in accordance
with the derecognition provisions of IAS 16 Property, Plant and
Equipment. When a major inspection is performed, its cost is
recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a
replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and
maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
economic lives of the following assets:
Renting right of buildings
63 years (year of renting right)
Machinery and equipment
3~5 years
Computer equipment
2~5 years
Office equipment
2~5 years
Transportation equipment
4 years
Leasehold improvements
2~8 years
Other equipment
3~5 years
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part
initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or
loss arising on derecognition of the asset is recognized in profit or
loss.
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation
are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if
appropriate.
13. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly arising from obtaining, manufacturing or
producing the qualifying asset shall be capitalized as part of this asset
cost. All other borrowing costs are recognized as expense over the
period of occurrence. Borrowing costs are resulting interests and other
costs related to the capital borrowed.
14. Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial
recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a
business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.
139
Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less
any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if
any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized
development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in
profit or loss for the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or
indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful
economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an
indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization
period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite
useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each financial year.
Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of
consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is
accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as
appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are
recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
A summary of the policies applied to the Group’s intangible assets is

15. Leases
Group as a lessee
Finance leases which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks
and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized
140
at the commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased
property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease
payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges
and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of
interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are
recognized in profit or loss.
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However,
if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership
by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter
of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
Group as a lessor
Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks
and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating
leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease
are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized
over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Rental
revenue generated from operating lease is recognized over the lease
term using the straight line method. Contingent rents are recognized
as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
16. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there
is any indication that an asset in the scope of IAS 36 Impairment of
Assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual
impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group will carry out the
test in the unit generated by the individual asset or cash attributed to
assets. For the result of impairment test, if the carrying amount of the
unit generated by the asset or cash attributed to assets exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired. A recoverable
amount is net fair value or value in use, whichever is higher.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each
reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have
decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s
or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed only if there has been an increase in the
estimated service potential of an asset which in turn increases the
141
recoverable amount. However, the reversal is limited so that the
carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount,
nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net
of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset
in prior years.
A cash generating unit, or groups of cash-generating units, to which
goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually at the
same time, irrespective of whether there is any indication of
impairment. If an impairment loss is to be recognized, it is first
allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to
the cash generating unit (group of units), then to the other assets of
the unit (group of units) pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of
each asset in the unit (group of units). Impairment losses relating to
goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods for any reason.
An impairment loss of continuing operations or a reversal of such
impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
17. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation
(legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probably that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a
provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a
separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. If
the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are
discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific
to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to the passage of time is recognized as a borrowing cost.
18. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be
reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable. The following specific
recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following
conditions have been satisfied: (a) the significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer; (b) neither
142
continuing managerial involvement nor effective control over the
goods sold have been retained; (c) the amount of revenue can be
measured reliably; (d) it is probable that the economic benefits
associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and (e) the costs
incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Interest income
For all financial assets measured at amortized cost (including loans
and receivables and held-to-maturity financial assets) and
available-for-sale financial assets, interest income is recorded using
the effective interest rate method and recognized in profit or loss.
Dividend income
The relevant dividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to
receive the payment is established.
19. Government grants
Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable
assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions
will be complied with. Where the grant relates to an asset, it is
recognized as deferred income and released to income in equal
amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset. When the
grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over the
period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs
that it is intended to compensate.
Where the Group receives non-monetary grants, the asset and the
grant are recorded gross at nominal amounts and released to the
statement of comprehensive income over the expected useful life and
pattern of consumption of the benefit of the underlying asset by equal
annual installments. Where loans or similar assistance are provided by
governments or related institutions with an interest rate below the
current applicable market rate, the effect of this favorable interest is
regarded as additional government grant.
20. Post-employment benefits
The post-employment benefits of the overseas subsidiaries and the
branches are provided in accordance with the respective local
regulations. Overseas subsidiaries and the branches make
contribution to the plan based on the requirements of local regulations,
which is recognized in current expense.

(3) The contribution basis of the five social insurance and one
housing fund in Mainland China is as follows:
Participate in the pension plan of the local government according
to local laws and regulations, and contribute a certain percentage
of employee wages (11%) as the pension.
(4) The contribution basis of the pension for employees in the
Republic of China is as follows:
The monthly contribution rate of pension for employees of
subsidiaries and branches in the Republic of China shall be no
less than 6% of employees’ monthly salary.
21. Share-based payment transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions between the Group and its
employees is recognized based on the fair value of the equity
instruments granted. The fair value of the equity instruments is
determined by using an appropriate pricing model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a
corresponding increase in other capital reserves in equity, over the
period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled.
The cumulative expense recognized for equity settled transactions at
each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which
144
the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the
number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The income
statement expense or credit for a period represents the movement in
cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that
period.
No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest,
except for equity-settled transactions where vesting is conditional
upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vesting
irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is
satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions
are satisfied.
Where the terms of an equity-settled transaction award are modified,
the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had
not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An
additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases
the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is
otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of
modification.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it vested
on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognized for
the award is recognized immediately. This includes any award where
non-vesting conditions within the control of either the entity or the
employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the
cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date
that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they
were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous
paragraph.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional
share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
22. Income taxes
Income tax expense (income) is the aggregate amount included in the
determination of profit or loss for the period in respect of current tax
and deferred tax.
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior
periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or
paid to the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
145
reporting period. Current income tax relating to items recognized in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity is recognized in other
comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss.
For subsidiaries in ROC of the Group, the 10% income tax for
undistributed earnings is recognized as income tax expense in the
subsequent year when the distribution proposal is approved by the
Shareholders’ meeting.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences at the reporting date
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary
differences, except:
(1) Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of
goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
(2) In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with
investments in subsidiaries and associates, where the timing of the
reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is
probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the
foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary
differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses,
to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry
forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized,
except:
(1) Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
(2) In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that
146
are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized that are
expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability
is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of
deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax
consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group
expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax relating to
items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or
loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are
recognized accordingly.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally
enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against
current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
23. Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method.
The consideration transferred, the identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed are measured at acquisition date fair value. For
each business combination, the acquirer measures any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the
non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s
identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are accounted for as
expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and are
classified under administrative expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the assets and
liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in
accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and
pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the
separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date
fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the
acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through
profit or loss, and resulting gains or losses are recognized as current
incomes.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be
147
recognized at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes to
the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an
asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with IAS 39
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement either in profit or
loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. However, if the
contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be
remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured as the amount of the excess of the
aggregate of the consideration transferred and the non-controlling
interest over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and
the liabilities assumed. If this aggregate is lower than the fair value of
the net assets acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any
accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill acquired in a business
combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the
Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the
acquiree are assigned to those units. Each unit or group of units to
which the goodwill is so allocated represents the lowest level within
the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management
purpose and is not larger than an operating segment before
aggregation.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the
operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the
operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation.
Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the
relative recoverable amounts of the operation disposed of and the
portion of the cash generating unit retained.
24. Seasonal variation
The operation of the Group is seasonal, as the market has a higher demand for the group’s products in the second half, result in a higher operating income in the second half compared with the one in the first half.
(v) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements require
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and
the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period.
148
However, uncertainty about these assumption and estimate could result
in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of
the asset or liability affected in future periods.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of
estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(1) Fair value of financial instruments
Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active
markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including
the income approach (for example the discounted cash flows model)
or market approach. Changes in assumptions about these factors
could affect the reported fair value of the financial instruments.
Please refer to Note (vi) for details.
(2) Impairment of non-financial assets
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash
generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher
of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value
less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding
sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or
observable market prices less incremental costs that would be
directly attributable to the disposal of the asset. The value in use
calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The cash
flows projections are derived from the budget for the next five years
and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet
committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the
asset’s performance of the cash generating unit being tested. The
recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for
the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future
cash-inflows, to determine the main assumption on different
cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount, including sensitivity
analysis. Please refer to Note (vi) for details.
(3) Income tax
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax
regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income.
Given the wide range of international business relationships and the
149
long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements,
differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions
made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate
future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded.
The Group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates,
for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the
respective counties in which it operates. The amount of such
provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of
previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by
the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences
of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on
the conditions prevailing in the respective Group company's
domicile.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all carry forward of unused
tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be
available or there are sufficient taxable temporary differences
against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits or
deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The amount of
deferred tax assets determined to be recognized is based upon the
likely timing and the level of future taxable profits and taxable
temporary differences together with future tax planning strategies.
Please refer to Note (vi) for more details on unrecognized deferred
tax assets as of December 31, 2013.

10. Impairment test of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives
The goodwill of the Group is allocated to each cash-generating unit or
cash-generating unit group expected to benefit from the synergies of
the combination, and the important assumptions of the impairment test
are as follows:
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit has been
determined based on the value in use, which is calculated by using the
cash flow projection based on the financial budget of five years
approved by the management at the pre-tax discount rate; and the
cash flow projection has reflected the changes in demand for related
products. Based on this analysis at the end of the year, the Group
considers that the goodwill of NT$29.78 million remains unimpaired.
Key assumptions used to calculate the value in use
The value in use of the cash-generating unit is most sensitive to the
following assumptions:
(1) Gross margin
(2) Discount rate
(3) Revenue growth during the budget extrapolating
Gross margin – the gross margin is evaluated based on the gross
margin of the current fiscal year during the financial budget and by
taking the future market trend into consideration.
Discount rate – the discount rate represents the current market’s
evaluation on the risks specific to each cash-generating unit (individual
risk on the time value of the currency and related assets not included
in the evaluation of the cash flow). The calculation of the discount rate
is derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) based on
the specific situation of the Group’s operating segment. The liabilities
and equity are also taken into consideration by WACC. The cost of the
equity is derived from the expected return on the investment by the
Group’s investors, and the cost of the liability is based on
interest-bearing loans that the Group is obligated to repay.
Revenue growth estimate – the growth rate is evaluated based on the
158
historical experience, and the long-term average growth rate
estimated by the Group has been adjusted by taking the speed of
product innovation and overall economic condition into consideration.
Sensitivity of assumption change
For the evaluation on the value in use of the cash-generating unit, the
Group believes that the aforementioned key assumptions do not have
possible changes to the extent that the carrying amount of this unit
exceeds its recoverable amount significantly.

from shares issuance in excess of par value, may be transferred to
capital as stock dividends within a certain amount once a year. The
aforementioned capital surplus also may be distributed in cash
according to the original shareholding of shareholders.
(3) Appropriation of earnings and dividend policy
A. The Articles of Association of the Company provide that the legal
reserve shall be set aside from the annual net income less any
accumulated deficit. The remainder, less special reserve, together
with accumulated earnings of prior years, shall be distributed as
follows:
a. Remuneration to directors and supervisors: no more than 5%.
b. Bonus to employees: 1%~10%.
c. The remainder is dividend to shareholders.
B. Following the adoption of IFRSs, the Company on April 6, 2012
issued Order No. Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-1010012865, which sets out
the following provisions for compliance: on a public company's
first-time adoption of the IFRSs, for any unrealized revaluation
gains and cumulative translation adjustments (gains) recorded to
shareholders’ equity that the company elects to transfer to retained
earnings by application of the exemption under IFRS 1 First-time
Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, the
company shall set aside an equal amount of special reserve.
Following a company’s adoption of the IFRS for the preparation of
its financial reports, when distributing distributable earnings, if the
company has already set aside special reserve according to the
requirements in the preceding point, it shall set aside supplemental
162
special reserve based on the difference between the amount
already set aside and other net deductions from shareholders’
equity. For any subsequent reversal of other net deductions from
shareholders’ equity, the amount reversed may be distributed.
C. As of January 1, 2013, special reserve set aside for the first-time
adoption of IFRSs amounted to NT$618,000. Furthermore, the
Company did not reverse special reserve to retained earnings
during the year ended December 31, 2013 as a result of the use,
disposal or reclassification of related assets. As of December 31,
2013, special reserve set aside for the first-time adoption of IFRSs
amounted to NT$618,000. D. The Company estimated the amounts of the employee bonuses
and remuneration to directors and supervisors for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 to be NT$284,000 and NT$1.868 million, respectively. Its estimation is based on the percentage specified in the Articles by taking the current net profit after tax and legal reserve, etc. into consideration. The estimated employee bonuses and remuneration to directors and supervisors are recognized as operating costs or operating expense for the period. If the board modified the estimates significantly in the subsequent periods, the Company will recognize the change as an adjustment to current income. The difference between the estimates and the resolution of shareholders’ meeting will be recognized in profit or loss of the subsequent year. The number of shares distributed is determined by dividing the amount of bonuses by the closing price (after considering the effect of dividends) of shares on the day preceding the shareholders’ meeting.
E. The surplus appropriation and distribution as well as dividend per share for 2013 and 2012 were proposed and approved through the board meeting and shareholders’ meeting held on March 25, 2014 and June 20, 2013, respectively. The details are as follows:

distribution Dividend per share

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit
for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
year.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net
profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would
be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into
ordinary shares.

2. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s risk management objectives are to manage market risk,
credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activities. The Group
identifies measures and manages the aforementioned risks based on
policy and risk preference.
The Group has established appropriate policies, procedures and
internal controls for financial risk management. Before entering into
significant financial activities, due approval process by the Board of
Directors and similar Audit Committee must be carried out based on
related protocols and internal control procedures. The Group complies
with its financial risk management policies at all times.
3. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a
financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.
Market risks comprise of currency risk, interest rate risk, and other
price risk (such as equity price risk).
In practice, it is rarely the case that a single risk variable will change
independently from other risk variables, there is usually
interdependencies between risk variables. However the sensitivity
analysis disclosed below does not take into account the
interdependencies between risk variables.
Foreign currency risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates
relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities (when revenue or
expense are denominated in a different currency from the Group’s
functional currency) and the Group’s net investments in foreign
subsidiaries.
The Group has certain foreign currency receivables to be denominated in
the same foreign currency with certain foreign currency payables,
therefore natural hedge is received. Furthermore, as net investments in
foreign subsidiaries are for strategic purposes, they are not hedged by
the Group.
The foreign currency sensitivity analysis of the possible change in
foreign exchange rates on the Group’s profit is performed on
significant monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as at the
end of the reporting period. The information of the sensitivity analysis
175
is as follows:
When NTD strengthened against SGD by 1%, the profit for the years
ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 decreased by NTD 8.963 million
and NTD 6.777 million respectively.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a
financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market
interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s loans and receivables at
variable interest rates, bank borrowings with fixed interest rates and
variable interest rates.
The Group manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced
portfolio of fixed and variable loans and borrowings and entering into
interest rate swaps. Hedge accounting does not apply to these swaps
as they do not qualify for it. The interest rate sensitivity analysis is
performed on items exposed to interest rate risk as at the end of the
reporting period, including investments and borrowings with variable
interest rates and interest rate swaps. At the reporting date, an
increase/decrease of 1% of interest rate in a reporting period could
cause the profit for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 to
decrease/increase by NTD 606,000 and NTD 3.092 million,
respectively.
Equity price risk
The Group’s listed and unlisted equity securities are susceptible to
market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the
investment securities. The Group manages the equity price risk
through diversification and placing limits on individual and total equity
instruments. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the
Group’s senior management on a regular basis. The Group’s Board of
Directors reviews and approves all equity investment decisions.
A decrease of 1% in the price of the listed equity securities held for
trading could increase/decrease the Group’s profit for the years ended
December 31, 2013 and 2012 by about NTD 565,000 and NTD
680,000, respectively.
4. Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations
under a contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to
credit risk from operating activities (primarily for accounts receivables
176
and notes receivables) and from its financing activities, including bank
deposits and other financial instruments.
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the
Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to
customer credit risk management. Credit limits are established for all
customers based on their financial position, rating from credit rating
agencies, historical experience, prevailing economic condition and the
Group’s internal rating criteria etc. Certain customer’s credit risk will
also be managed by taking credit enhancing procedures, such as
requesting for prepayment or insurance.
As of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012,
amounts receivables from top ten customers represented 98%, 91%
and 88% of the total accounts receivables of the Group, respectively.
The credit concentration risk of other accounts receivables is
insignificant.
Credit risk from balances with banks, fixed income securities and other
financial instruments is managed by the Group’s treasury in
accordance with the Group’s policy. The Group only transacts with
counterparties approved by the internal control procedures, which are
banks and financial institutions, companies and government entities
with good credit rating and with no significant default risk.
Consequently, there is no significant credit risk for these counter
parties.
5. Liquidity risk management
The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of
funding and flexibility through the use of cash and cash equivalents,
highly liquid equity investments and bank borrowings, etc. The table
below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial
liabilities based on the contractual undiscounted payments and
contractual maturity. The payment amount includes the contractual
interest. The undiscounted payment relating to borrowings with
variable interest rates is extrapolated based on the estimated interest
rate yield curve as of the end of the reporting period.

6. Fair value of financial instruments
(1) Methods and assumptions applied in determining the fair value of
financial instruments
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at
the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or
liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used
to estimate the fair values:
A. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivables, payables and other current liabilities approximate
their fair value.
B. For financial assets and liabilities traded in an active market with
standard terms and conditions, their fair value is determined
based on market quotation price (including listed equity securities
and bonds) at the reporting date.
C. Fair value of equity instruments without market quotations
(including unquoted public company and private company equity
securities) are estimated using the market method valuation
techniques based on parameters such as recent fund raising
activities, valuation of similar companies, individual company’s
development, market conditions and other economic indicators.
D. The fair value of derivative financial instrument is based on
market quotations. For unquoted derivatives that are not options,
the fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow
analysis using interest rate yield curve for the contract period. Fair
value of option-based derivative financial instruments is obtained
using the option pricing model.
E. The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities is
determined using discounted cash flow analysis, the interest rate
and discount rate are selected with reference to those of similar
178
financial instruments.
(2) Fair value of financial instruments carried at amortized cost
The Group considers that the carrying amounts of carried at
amortized cost financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in
the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.
(3) Fair value measurements recognized in the balance sheet
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that
are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped
into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is
observable:
Level 1: fair value measurements are those derived from quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities;
Level 2: fair value measurements are those derived from inputs
other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);
and
Level 3: fair value measurements are those derived from
valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or
liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).

Analysis of deviation over 20% and exceeding NT$10 million:
1. Operating margin and operating income: the business in Tianjin is still
under expansion, therefore the input cost of the clinic, such as rent
and physician salary, was increased significantly over the same period
last year, but the revenue was not increased accordingly as the
medical insurance license has not yet obtained, resulting in reduction
in the current operating margin and operating income.
2. Non-operating income and expenses: the current non-operating
income and expenses were increased over the same period last year
resulted from increase in the current dividend income, increase in
investment gains recognized by using the equity method, and effect of
fluctuation in the exchange rate.

modest cash outflow was generated because a lot of
operating expenses was spent for business expansion in
Tianjin.

which was incurred by procurement of fixed assets and
payment of the performance bond.
200

was incurred by increase in bank loans and disposal of
subsidiaries' equity.
(ii) Corrective measures to be taken in response to illiquidity

period of the previous year.

(i) Reinvestment policy of the Company:
With the main purpose of increasing the operating base or product line,
the current reinvestment policy of the Company is carried out by the
relevant executive department according to the “Investment Cycle” and
because a net cash outflow was generated due to current operating
activities and the capital expenditure and long-term investment were
increased compared with the same period of the previous year, resulting
in a lower ratio of cash reinvestment compared with the same period of
the previous year.

The health management and beauty
business began since 2011, and many
losses were suffered that year due to the
immature operating mode; as the
improvement plan was implemented in
2013, the losses have been substantially
reduced to SGD (393), and we continue to
move towards the target of maintaining a
balance of the income and the expenditure.
MKM-MY SGD (26) Selling of scientific

Cooperated with the shift in the development focus to China, the Malaysia company only provides the selling of scientific Chinese medicines with the purpose of the stable operation, and considers the future development depending on the market and laws.

MKI SGD 543 Property sales and purchasing business Good performance NA
(iii) Improvement plan:
MKB-SG was mainly engaged in the product wholesale and
education & training; in order to implement the concept of moving
towards the professional, sophisticated and comprehensive service, the
Company started the health management and beauty business since
2011, and much losses were suffered that year due to the immature
operating mode; as the improvement plan was implemented since 2012,
we continue to move towards the target of maintaining a balance of the
income and the expenditure.
The operating losses were suffered due to unfamiliarity with the
local laws and regulations by the Malaysia company; as the operating
mode was adjusted according to the local laws and regulations and the
internal employees were stabilized properly in 2011, the loss condition
was improved significantly; cooperated with the shift in the development
focus to China in 2012, the Malaysia company only provides the selling
of scientific Chinese medicines with the purpose of the stable operation,
and considers the future development depending on the market and
laws.
The operation target of TPMK is to provide the medical service in
China, including management consulting, community medical service
and specialized hospital, etc. Efforts were made by the team to start the
operation for the medical service business in Tianjin since February
2012; in addition to putting a lot of capital expenditures for business
expansion in Tianjin at present, 11 designated health insurance units
have been obtained in early 2014, and it is estimated that the current
204
operating condition will be greatly improved.
(iv) Investment plan in the coming year: the Company does not have a
definite investment plan in the coming year.
VI. Risk analysis and assessment during the most recent fiscal year or during
the current fiscal year up to the date of printing of the annual report
(i) Impact upon the company's balance sheet of inflation and changes in
interest and exchange rates, and the measures the company plans to
adopt in response:
1. Impact upon the company's balance sheet of changes in the
interest rate, and the measures the company plans to adopt in
response:
The main source of the Company’s interest income is the interest on bank deposits, and the interest expense is mainly incurred from the bank housing loan and bank borrowing. The Group’s interest income is NT$1.134 million and NT$549,000 in 2012 and 2013 respectively, and the interest expense is NT$5.26 million and NT$2.803 million respectively, accounting for about 1% of net sales; as the ratio is not high, changes in the interest rate do not have a significant impact on the Group. Countermeasures:
If there is a big fluctuation in the future interest rate and the
Company still has a demand for the loan, in addition to shifting to
other financing instruments in the capital market to raise funds,
loans at a fixed interest rate or floating interest rate will be chosen
by observing the interest rate trend to avoid the risk of interest rate
fluctuations.
2. Impact upon the company's balance sheet of changes in the
exchange rate, and the measures the company plans to adopt in
response:
The income and expense of the Group mainly use the
Singapore dollar, and the proportion of non-SGD currency is not
large, therefore a considerable part of the currency will have a
natural hedging effect. The effect of the related foreign currency’s
appreciation / depreciation on the Group is as follows: when NTD
strengthened against SGD by 1%, the profit for the years ended
205
December 31, 2013 and 2012 decreased by NTD 8.963 million and
NTD 6.777 million respectively.
Countermeasures:
A. Maintaining an adequate level of foreign currency reserve
based on predicted exchange rate to provide for subsidiaries’
operating activities and to lower the impact of adverse exchange
fluctuations on to the net income.
B. Continually monitoring exchange rate fluctuations and
maintaining close contacts with main banks to provide
management with sufficient information as basis for managing
exchange rate fluctuations.
3. Impact upon the company's balance sheet of inflation, and the
measures the company plans to adopt in response:
The inflation does not have a significant impact on the Group's
profit or loss in the past, and the Group will adjust the sales price
properly if the purchase cost is increased due to the inflation. In
addition, the Group reviews and collects the relevant information
for the reference of management decision-making by referring to
the economic data and report of the government and research
institution on a regular and irregular basis.
(ii) High-risk investments, highly leveraged investments, loans to other
parties, endorsements, guarantees, and derivatives transactions; the main
reasons for the profits / losses generated thereby; and response measures
to be taken in the future:
1. High-risk investments and highly leveraged investments; the main
reasons for the profits / losses generated thereby; and response
measures to be taken in the future:
The Group has established the “Procedures of Granting of Loans”,
“Operational Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees”,
“Regulations Governing the Acquisition and Disposal of Assets” and
“Policies and Procedures for Financial Derivatives Transactions”, etc.
as the basis for the relevant activities of the Group. The Group does
not have high-risk investments and highly leveraged investments in
the most recent fiscal year or during the current fiscal year up to the
date of printing of the annual report.
206
If the Group will be engaged in the high-risk investments, highly
leveraged investments, derivatives transactions, endorsement /
guarantee provided to other parties other than the Group, or loans to
other parties other than the Group in the future, the Group will assess
it carefully according to the relevant provisions to reduce the financial
risk of the Group. However, the Group focuses on the operation of the
main business without expanding to high-risk industries and the
principle of financial policies is conservative without highly leveraged
investments, therefore the risk is limited.
2. Loans to other parties; the main reasons for the profits / losses
generated thereby; and response measures to be taken in the future:
The loans to other parties between subsidiaries of the Group are in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the Company, and the
collection progress is tracked regularly, therefore they have no impact
on the profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements of the
Company.
3. Endorsements and guarantees; the main reasons for the profits /
losses generated thereby; and response measures to be taken in the
future:
In addition to endorsements and guarantees provided between
internal companies, the Group does not have other endorsements and
guarantees in the most recent fiscal year or during the current fiscal
year up to the date of printing of the annual report; as the
endorsements and guarantees provided between internal companies
are in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Company, they
have no impact on the profit or loss in the consolidated financial
statements of the Company.
4. Derivatives transactions; the main reasons for the profits / losses
generated thereby; and response measures to be taken in the future:
The Group does not have derivatives transactions in the most
recent fiscal year or during the current fiscal year up to the date of
printing of the annual report, will assess the operation of relevant
hedging strategies regularly depending on the operation condition of
the Company, and carry out them in accordance with the relevant
provisions.
(iii) Future research and development projects, and expenditures expected in
connection therewith:
207
The Group is engaged in Chinese medicine outpatient services and
selling of Chinese medicinal materials and healthcare products, and does
not have any future research and development projects, and expenditures
expected in connection.
The Group is engaged in Chinese medicine outpatient services and
selling of Chinese medicinal materials and healthcare products, and does
not have any R&D plan of producing our own products during the most
recent fiscal year or during the current fiscal year up to the date of printing
of the annual report.
(iv) Impact upon the company's financial operations of important policy and
legal developments at home and abroad, and the measures the company
plans to adopt in response:

financial operations will not be affected by changes in the local policies
and laws in the Cayman Islands or Singapore.
(v) Impact on the company's financial operations of developments in science,
technology, and industry, and the measures the company plans to adopt
in response:
The group always pays attention to changes in the relevant medical
technology of the industry, grasps the latest market trend, and assesses
its impact on the operation of the company; the Group does not have any
significant industry changes resulting in a significant impact on the
Group's financial operations in the most recent fiscal year or during the
current fiscal year up to the date of printing of the annual report.
(vi) Impact of changes in the company's image upon its crisis management,
and the measures the company plans to adopt in response:
Since the establishment, the Group continues to actively strengthen
the internal management and improve the quality management capacity;
the Group's brand image has a leading position in Singapore and
Malaysia, but the company still seeks continuous improvement to
reinforce the customer's loyalty to the company's brand. There is no
208
significant change in the Group's image in the most recent fiscal year or
during the current fiscal year up to the date of printing of the annual report.
(vii) Expected benefits and potential risks of any merger or acquisition, and
measures to be adopted in response:
It is not applicable as the Group does not have any clear and special

year or during the current fiscal year up to the date of printing of the
annual report.
(viii) Expected benefits and potential risks of any plant expansion, and
measures to be adopted in response:
It is not applicable as the Group does not have any plant expansion
plan in the most recent fiscal year or during the current fiscal year up to
the date of printing of the annual report.
(ix) Risks associated with any consolidation of sales or purchasing operations,
and measures to be adopted in response:
1. Risks associated with any consolidation of purchasing operations, and
measures to be adopted in response:
Currently, the main purchasing products of the Group include
scientific Chinese medicine powders related to the medical diagnosis
and treatment, healthcare products, Chinese medicinal materials and
medical consumables, etc, which are purchased from manufacturers of
the best quality; however, due to familiarity with this industry, although
there are fixed suppliers, the Group has a dominant position as there
are numerous sources of supply on the market and most of them have a
good cooperative relationship with the Group, thus avoiding the risk
associated with any consolidation of purchasing operations. In addition,
the Group maintains a long-term friendly cooperative relationship with
each supplier, to ensure stability and reliability of supply sources and
quality.
2.Risks associated with any consolidation of sales operations, and
measures to be adopted in response:
Currently, the Group is primarily engaged in medical services, and
the core business is to provide the TCM consulting service and product,
which is the health management service for the general public; in
addition, there are no customer responsible for sales accounting for
209
over 5% of the revenue, therefore the Group does not have any risks
associated with any consolidation of sales operations in the most recent
fiscal year or during the current fiscal year up to the date of printing of
the annual report.
(x) Risk from major transfer or swap of stocks by the Company’s directors,
supervisors or major shareholders with over 10% of the Company’s total
outstanding shares, and countermeasures:
Up to the date of printing of the annual report, the Company has 1
shareholder (i.e. Jui Wei Investments Pte Ltd.) with 10% of the Company’s
total outstanding shares, and the average shareholding ratio of the
remaining top ten shareholders is 2.79%; the aforementioned shareholder
is a legal investment company, therefore there is no risk from major
transfer or swap of stocks.
(xi) Risk from the change in management of the Company, and
countermeasures:
The Group does not have any change in management in the most
recent fiscal year or during the current fiscal year up to the date of printing
of the annual report. In addition to strengthening various corporate
governance measures, the Group also introduces independent directors
to improve the protection of shareholders' interests. The Group has
recruited qualified talents for each operating base and organizes the
excellent recruitment team as a strong and powerful back-up for the
management; in case of any change in management, it will not have a
significant impact on various managements of the Group.
(xii) Major litigations, non-contentious matters or administrative actions,
concluded or pending, involving any of the directors, supervisors,
presidents, responsible persons in fact, shareholders holdings more than
10% of the outstanding shares and subsidiaries, the result of which may
significantly affect shareholders’ equity or the stock price of the Company.
Disclosure shall be made with the facts in dispute, course of action,
commencing date of the legal proceeding, principal litigants and the
status up to the publication date of the annual report:
1. Major litigations, non-contentious matters or administrative actions,
concluded or pending, in the two most recent fiscal years and during
210
the current fiscal year up to the date of printing of the annual report,
the result of which may significantly affect shareholders’ equity or the
stock price of the Company; disclosure shall be made with the facts in
dispute, course of action, commencing date of the legal proceeding,
principal litigants and the status: none.
2. Major litigations, non-contentious matters or administrative actions,
concluded or pending, in the two most recent fiscal years and during
the current fiscal year up to the date of printing of the annual report,
involving any of the directors, supervisors, presidents, responsible
persons in fact, shareholders holdings more than 10% of the
outstanding shares and subsidiaries, the result of which may
significantly affect shareholders’ equity or the stock price of the
Company: none.
3. Occurrence of items listed in Article 157 of the Securities and
Exchange Act on directors, supervisors, presidents, responsible
persons in fact, and shareholders holdings more than 10% of the
outstanding shares in the two most recent fiscal years and during the
current fiscal year up to the date of printing of the annual report, and
the status: none.
(xiii) Other major risks, and countermeasures:
1. Medical disputes
Engaged in the Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment
services and selling of Chinese medicinal materials and healthcare
products, the Group may have medical disputes arising from the
human error or product defects during the operation, resulting in the
need for compensation or settlement or situations affecting the
reputation of the company, which is an important risk of the Group
during the operation.
For this risk, the Group has insured the third party liability for
patients or products sold, strengthens the training of the medical
team and improves the quality of personnel to reduce the negligence
that may arise in the medical procedure, and has specialized persons
responsible for handling customer complaints and settling disputes,
to protect the interests of customers and prevent the risk of medical
disputes from affecting the normal operation of the company.
211
2. Mobility risk of traditional Chinese physicians
The excellent team of physicians is the largest asset of the
Group; each physician has certain patient resources and they may
start their own businesses, resulting in a large mobility of physicians
and an issue of losing customers.
For this risk, the Group will strength the patient loyalty by using
the brand effect, design a sound performance salary system and
flexible shift system, and also communicate to the individual
physician to solve the problem, in order to provide physicians with
good benefits and a good working environment and to deepen their
identity and cohesion for the company, thus minimizing the influence
of this risk.
3. Protection of shareholders' interests
The Company Act of the Cayman Islands is different from the
one of the Republic of China. Although the Company has amended
the Articles of Association in accordance with reference examples in
the "Important Matters Concerning the Protection of Shareholder
Interests" specified by the GTSM, the laws of the Cayman Islands
and Republic of China have different requirements for the company
operation, and investors can not apply the legal interests of the
company invested in Taiwan to the company invested in the Cayman
Islands; investors shall really learn and consult with experts about
shareholder interests that can not be obtained by the company
invested in the Cayman Islands.
4. Overall economy, changes in the political and economic environment,
relevant laws, foreign exchange control and taxes of foreign issuers'
registration state and the main operating country, risks related to
derecognition of the effect of civil judgment made by the courts in the
Republic of China, and countermeasures:
The main operating body of the Group is registered in Singapore,
which mainly provides the comprehensive Chinese traditional medical
treatment and service; the Cayman Islands is only the registration
state of the Group without any real economic activities. The overall
economy, changes in the political and economic environment, relevant
laws, foreign exchange control and taxes of the British Cayman
Islands and Singapore, and risks related to derecognition of the effect
of civil judgment made by the courts in the Republic of China are as
212
follows:
(1) British Cayman Islands
Overall economy and changes in the political and economic
environment
The Cayman Islands are located in the south of Miami,
Florida, and are a British territory in the Caribbean Sea. The
Cayman Islands enjoy a lasting political stability, and their capital
George Town is located on the Cayman Islands as the
administrative, commercial and financial center. The local
offshore company is classified into non-resident company and
exempted company. The exempted company can relocate its
domicile while the non-resident company can not do it, therefore
the general offshore company adopts the exempted company.
As the world’s fifth largest financial center ranking after
Hongkong, London and New York, the Islands have more than
600 Banks, and have many legal, accounting and professional
service institutions to provide the prompt and efficient service. In
addition to the tourism industry, the Islands have few other
industries, therefore special focus has been paid on the business,
finance and banking, etc., and the local financial service is well
developed.
Foreign exchange control, laws and taxes risk
The Cayman Islands adopt a fixed exchange rate system
without foreign exchange control. In terms of the laws and taxes,
the Cayman Islands currently do not levy the personal or
corporate income tax or value-added tax.
The Company shall comply with the Articles of Association of
the company and the Company Act of the Cayman Islands, etc.,
but the Cayman Islands’ laws regarding the protecting of the
minority interests are different from the laws in other jurisdiction
areas of Taiwan. Although the Company has amended the
Articles of Association according to the Securities and Exchange
Act and Company Act of Taiwan and within the limits allowed by
the laws of the Cayman Islands, the protection of shareholder
interests may still be different from the companies established
based on the laws of Taiwan.
213
(2) Singapore
Overall economy and changes in the political and economic
environment
Singapore is 137 kilometers north of the equator, and has a
tropical climate with high temperatures all year round; with the
total area of only 633 km2 and the population of about 4.58 million,
Singapore is an emerging developed country and one of the Four
Asian Tigers. Singapore is a highly regulated country with
