EXPLANATORY NOTE

Legal Proceedings

In February 2006, ChipMOS Taiwan and ChipMOS USA received notice of a lawsuit filed by Tessera Technologies, Inc., or Tessera. The complaint was initially filed in United States District Court for the Northern District of California (Civil Action No. C05-04063CW), or the California court. In an amended complaint, Tessera added ChipMOS Taiwan and ChipMOS USA, among several other semiconductor companies, as co-defendants. The amended complaint alleges that ChipMOS Taiwan, ChipMOS USA and the other co-defendants infringed certain patents owned by Tessera and that ChipMOS Taiwan is in breach of a license agreement with Tessera, or the Tessera license agreement. Tessera also sought unspecified damages and injunctive relief. ChipMOS Taiwan and ChipMOS USA have responded to the lawsuit by denying Tessera’s claims of patent infringement and breach of contract. ChipMOS USA and ChipMOS Taiwan have also raised various counterclaims for declaratory judgment and related affirmative defenses that the Tessera patents are invalid and unenforceable. In May 2007, the California court, with the concurrence of ChipMOS Taiwan and ChipMOS USA, stayed all litigation in the California court as a result of a related investigation by the International Trade Commission, or ITC, initiated by Tessera against certain other co-defendants. In addition, a co-defendant in the Tessera lawsuit requested the United States Patent and Trademark Office to reexamine the patentability of each of Tessera’s patents that are at issue in the case in the California court. The requests were granted and, in February 2007, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office concluded that certain claims of the patents were invalid on the basis of prior art. In April 2008, ChipMOS Bermuda, ChipMOS USA and ChipMOS Taiwan received notice that Tessera requested the ITC to initiate another investigation alleging that the sale for and after importation into the United States as well as importation into the United States of certain small format non-tape based BGA semiconductor packages by ChipMOS Bermuda, ChipMOS Taiwan and ChipMOS USA infringe three of the five Tessera patents at issue in the case pending in the California court. Tessera sought, among other things, an investigation by the ITC and general exclusion orders to prohibit the infringing products from entry into the United States. The ITC initiated the investigation in May 2008. On March 13, 2009, after the close of discovery, Tessera submitted a request to terminate the proceedings at the ITC, which the judge granted on July 17, 2009. No petitions for review were filed. The ITC issued an order to terminate the investigation on August 7, 2009. Due to the completion of a companion investigation against other companies by ITC, the stayed litigations in the Northern District of California resumed in January 2012. On July 19, 2012, Tessera filed a stipulation with the California court dismissing its breach of contract claim against the companies. Accordingly, this litigation was then limited to only Tessera’s patent infringement allegations against the companies. A court-ordered mediation was held on December 13, 2012 but was unsuccessful. On November 8, 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement with Tessera settling the subject matter. As part of the Settlement Agreement, ChipMOS Taiwan agreed to pay a one-time payment of US$1,375 thousand, including 20% Taiwan tax withholding, to Tessera in exchange for Tessera releasing, discharging and agreeing to never sue ChipMOS Bermuda, ChipMOS Taiwan and ChipMOS USA relating to the license agreement. On November 9, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation with the Court to dismiss the pending litigation.

In April 1999, Motorola, Inc. (“Motorola”) and ChipMOS Taiwan entered into an immunity agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby each party covenanted not to sue each other for the use of certain Ball Grid Array (“BGA”) patents. In December 2004, Motorola spun off its semiconductor division, and thereby formed Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (“Freescale”), who then assumed Motorola’s rights and obligations under the Agreement. On October 16, 2006, Freescale unilaterally terminated the Agreement, alleging that ChipMOS Taiwan breached the Agreement. ChipMOS Taiwan argued that Freescale’s unilateral termination of the Agreement has no legal effect, and continues to accrue royalty payments for products it believes are covered by the Agreement. The payments previously returned by Freescale and accrued by ChipMOS Taiwan have been deposited in a separate escrow account. On July 13, 2009, Freescale alleged that ChipMOS Taiwan breached the Agreement by failing to pay royalties on certain BGA packages assembled by ChipMOS Taiwan. ChipMOS Taiwan filed an answer to deny all allegations, and also filed counterclaims against Freescale alleging that Freescale engaged in patent misuse by seeking to obtain royalties on certain of ChipMOS Taiwan’s BGA products that were not covered by any Freescale patent included under the Agreement, and for declaratory judgment of patent non-infringement and invalidity. On December 11, 2009, Freescale filed a motion to dismiss the declaratory judgment counterclaims filed by ChipMOS Taiwan and to stay all other patent related claims and issues until its breach of contract claims could be decided. On July 29, 2010, the Court found that the Agreement constituted a “Total Sales Royalty” agreement, however, Freescale’s motion was partly denied for patent misuse issue. A mediation was held between the parties on October 28, 2010 but was unsuccessful. The fact discovery and expert discovery process regarding patent misuse issue closed in middle June 2011. An Order granting Freescale’s motion for partial summary judgment and denying ChipMOS’ cross-motion for partial judgment was given on September 8, 2011. An Order granting in part and denying in part ChipMOS’ Motion for Reconsideration was given on March 30, 2012. The Court reinstated ChipMOS’ claims for patent misuse and its affirmative defenses for patent exhausted, mutual mistake and license. Freescale refiled its motions to strike ChipMOS’ jury demand and for summary judgment on ChipMOS’ affirmative defenses of exhaustion, mutual mistake and license. The Court has granted those motions on January 24, 2013 and later denied ChipMOS Taiwan’ motion for reconsideration of those rulings in April 2013. On June 20, 2013, ChipMOS Taiwan entered into a settlement agreement with Freescale to resolve pending lawsuit between the parties in a judicial settlement conference conducted in the Court. As part of the settlement agreement, ChipMOS Taiwan agreed to pay Freescale US$8 million to settle the claims in exchange the parties entering into a new License Agreement for the use of Freescale’s BGA packaging technology from 2011 to 2015 and filing a Joint Stipulation for the Dismissal of all claims pending between them. The Joint Stipulation for Dismissal was filed on July 26, 2013 and the case was closed by the Court.

Other than the matters described above, we were not involved in any material litigation in 2013 and are not currently involved in any material litigation.

For certain information regarding legal proceedings relating to certain of our current and former directors, see “Item 3.—Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—The ongoing criminal proceeding of and adverse publicity associated with Mr. Shih-Jye Cheng, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Hung-Chiu Hu, our former director, could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause our stock price to decline”.

We have also audited the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Group’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Group’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2013

1.	*Corporate and group information*

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD. (the “Company” or “ChipMOS Bermuda”) was incorporated under the laws of Bermuda on August 1, 2000, and its common shares have been traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market since June 2001. In February 2010, ChipMOS Bermuda submitted an application to the NASDAQ Stock Market to transfer its listing to the NASDAQ Capital Market from the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The NASDAQ Stock Market has determined that the Company meets the NASDAQ Capital Market initial listing criteria set forth in Listing Rule 5505. Its common shares have been traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market since March 17, 2010.

On January 21, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved a one-for-four share combination of its common stock which became effective on January 21, 2011. As a result of this reverse stock split, every four shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued and outstanding as of January 21, 2011 were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share with par value change from US$0.01 to US$0.04 per share, and the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock was proportionally reduced. A proportionate adjustment was also made to the Company’s outstanding stock options and convertible notes. No fractional shares were issued in connection with this reverse stock split, but rather shareholders who were entitled to fractional shares received cash in aggregate of NT$239 thousand in lieu of receiving fractional shares.

1.	*Corporate and group information (continued)*

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES INC. (“ChipMOS Taiwan”) was incorporated in Taiwan on July 28, 1997 as a joint venture company between Mosel Vitelic Inc. (“MVI”) and Siliconware Precision Industries Co. Ltd. (“SPIL”). Its operations consist of testing and assembly of semiconductors. In connection with a corporate restructuring on January 12, 2001, the holders of an aggregate of 583,419 thousand common shares of ChipMOS Taiwan executed a Purchase and Subscription Agreement whereby they transferred their shares of ChipMOS Taiwan to ChipMOS Bermuda in exchange for 14,585 thousand common shares in ChipMOS Bermuda. The selling shareholders, who previously held an aggregate of 70.25% of the entire outstanding common shares of ChipMOS Taiwan, thus became the holder of the entire outstanding common shares of ChipMOS Bermuda. Because 100% of the outstanding common shares of ChipMOS Bermuda were owned by former shareholders of ChipMOS Taiwan, the exchange of shares has been accounted for as a merger as if ChipMOS Bermuda was the acquirer. Equity and operations attributable to ChipMOS Taiwan shareholders not participating in the exchange offer were reflected as noncontrolling interests in the historical financial statements. In March 2007, ChipMOS Bermuda, ChipMOS Taiwan and SPIL completed a share purchase and subscription transaction whereby ChipMOS Bermuda purchased 100% of SPIL’s equity interest in ChipMOS Taiwan at US$0.75 per share. SPIL also subscribed to 3,043,749 newly issued common shares of ChipMOS Bermuda through a private placement of US$6.28 per share. After the transaction, ChipMOS Taiwan became a 99.14% subsidiary of ChipMOS Bermuda and SPIL owned 14.7% of ChipMOS Bermuda. In September 2007, another share exchange transaction was completed whereby ChipMOS Bermuda offered to exchange one share of ChipMOS Bermuda for 8.4 shares of ChipMOS Taiwan shares. The exchange was completed in September 2007 and ChipMOS Taiwan became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ChipMOS Bermuda. In February 2010, ChipMOS Bermuda entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with SPIL to sell to SPIL the holding of 133,000 thousand common shares of ChipMOS Taiwan for a consideration of NT$1,630,580 thousand. In January 2011, the transaction was completed. As part of ChipMOS Taiwan’s listing plan on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (“TWSE”), on April 16, 2013, ChipMOS Bermuda completed the sale of 6.5 million outstanding ChipMOS Taiwan shares, at the price of NT$15.0 per share to ChipMOS Taiwan’s underwriters of the TWSE listing plan and to certain others, including non-US employees of ChipMOS Taiwan (Note 27). Also, on October 3, 2013, ChipMOS Bermuda completed another sale of 180.0 million outstanding ChipMOS Taiwan shares, at the price of NT$20.0 per shares to investors and certain non-US employees of ChipMOS Taiwan (Note 27). As of December 31, 2013, ChipMOS Bermuda owned 62.09% (2012:84.22%) of ChipMOS Taiwan’s outstanding shares.

ThaiLin Semiconductor Corp. (“ThaiLin”) was incorporated on May 15, 1996 and is listed on the GreTai Securities Market in Taiwan. ThaiLin is engaged in wafer and semiconductor testing services. On December 31, 2002, ChipMOS Taiwan acquired an equity interest of 41.8% in ThaiLin. On December 1, 2003, ChipMOS Taiwan obtained controlling influence over ThaiLin’s decisions on its operations, personnel and financial policies. Therefore, ThaiLin has been consolidated into these financial statements from December 1, 2003 in spite of the fact that ChipMOS Taiwan holds an equity interest of less than 50% in ThaiLin. As of December 31, 2013, ChipMOS Taiwan held a 47.54% (2012: 42.87%) equity interest in ThaiLin.

ChipMOS U.S.A., Inc. (“ChipMOS USA”) was incorporated in the United States of America in October 1999. It engages in sales and customer services and all the expenses incurred from these activities are charged to current income. ChipMOS USA began generating revenue in 2001. As of December 31, 2013, ChipMOS Taiwan owned 100% (2012: 100%) of the outstanding shares of ChipMOS USA.

MODERN MIND TECHNOLOGY LIMITED (“Modern Mind”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on January 29, 2002. Modern Mind conducts its operations through ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Shanghai) LTD. (“ChipMOS Shanghai”). ChipMOS Shanghai a wholly-owned subsidiary of Modern Mind was established in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on June 7, 2002. ChipMOS Shanghai is engaged in wafer testing, semiconductor assembly and testing, and module and subsystem manufacturing. ChipMOS Shanghai commenced commercial production in 2003. ChipMOS Bermuda acquired a 100% equity interest in Modern Mind on December 12, 2002, and then transferred it to Jesper Limited (“Jesper”) on December 31, 2002. In December 2002 and 2003, ChipMOS Bermuda acquired from Jesper and ChipMOS Taiwan, respectively, convertible notes issued by Modern Mind (“MMT Notes”) that are convertible into a controlling equity interest in Modern Mind if the repayment is not made when due. Under an Assignment and Assumption Agreement signed on April 22, 2011, ChipMOS Bermuda agreed to sell the MMT Notes to ThaiLin for a purchase price US$39,950 thousand. On October 3, 2011, the transaction was completed. On October 3, 2011, ThaiLin converted the MMT Notes into common shares of Modern Mind and purchased all of the remaining common shares of Modern Mind from Jesper. Modern Mind and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ChipMOS Shanghai, became a wholly-owned subsidiaries of ThaiLin. ChipMOS Bermuda’s interest in ChipMOS Shanghai was reduced to 36.11% then. Prior to October 3, 2011, ChipMOS Bermuda consolidated Modern Mind and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ChipMOS Shanghai in reliance on International Accounting Standard 27 (Revised) “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”. ChipMOS Bermuda had a parent-subsidiary relationship with Modern Mind by means other than record ownership of voting stock. This relationship was based on ChipMOS Bermuda’s power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of Modern Mind and ChipMOS Shanghai. As of December 31, 2013, ThaiLin owned 100% (2012: 100%) of the outstanding shares of Modern Mind and Modern Mind owned 100% (2012: 100%) of the outstanding shares of ChipMOS Shanghai.

2.	*Basis of preparation of financial statements and principal accounting policies*

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and are presented in New Taiwan dollars (“NT$”), which is the Company’s functional currency.

First time adoption of IFRSs

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) were previously prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAP”), which differ from IFRSs in some significant areas. To prepare the consolidated financial statements, management has modified certain of its accounting policies that were previously applied under ROC GAAP in order to comply with the IFRSs.

Basis of preparation (continued)

Comparative figures and figures as of the transition date (January 1, 2012) have been modified to reflect such adjustments. Note 34 includes a reconciliation between equity figures of consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the ROC GAAP on the transition date (January 1, 2012) and on the adoption date (December 31, 2012) and the profit and total comprehensive income figures for the year ended December 31, 2012 and those presented in accordance with the IFRSs in these consolidated financial statements, as well as the effects of the adjustments to cash flows.

The format of the primary financial statements under ROC GAAP is governed by Financial Supervisory Commission. International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” requires certain disclosures to be made on the face of the primary statements and other required disclosures may be made in the notes or on the face of the financial statements, unless another standard specifies otherwise. The transition to IFRSs has resulted in the Group changing the format of its income statements, statements of financial position and statements of cash flows, as well as the disclosure of certain line items not prescribed by ROC GAAP.

As a general rule, the Group is required to establish its IFRSs accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2013 and apply these retrospectively. However, advantage has been taken of certain exemptions granted by IFRS 1 “First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” (“IFRS 1”) as further described below:

The Group elected not to apply IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, retrospectively to business combinations which occurred before January 1, 2012.

The Group elected to take the optional exemption from applying IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment”, retrospectively for the share-based payment transactions granted and vested before January 1, 2012.

The Group elected not to apply IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”, retrospectively to employee benefits and recognize all cumulative actuarial gains and losses in retained earnings as of January 1, 2012.

The Group elected to take the optional exemption from applying IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, retrospectively from the transactions occurred before January 1, 2012.

The Group elected not to apply IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (“IAS 39”), retrospectively for the transactions occurred before January 1, 2012.

The Group elected not to apply IAS 23 “Borrowing Costs”, retrospectively for the transactions occurred before January 1, 2012.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ChipMOS Bermuda and all entities controlled by ChipMOS Bermuda. Control is achieved where the Company has power over the investees, that expose or give rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investees, and the Company is able to use its power to affect the amount of returns from the investees. Generally control is achieved with a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights over the relevant activities of the investee. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 include the financial results of ChipMOS Taiwan and its subsidiaries, ThaiLin, ChipMOS USA, and Modern Mind and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ChipMOS Shanghai.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Where certain assets of the subsidiary are measured at fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets (i.e. reclassified to the consolidated income statements or transferred directly to retained earnings). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IAS 39 or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.

Significant judgements and estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the recorded amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the Group. The Group continually evaluates these estimates, including those related to share-based payments, impairment of receivables, impairment of non-financial assets, defined benefit plans and deferred tax assets. The Group bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, 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.

Management has considered the development, selection and disclosure of the Group’s critical accounting policies and estimates.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management have made the following judgements which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Entities in which the Group holds less than 50% of the voting rights

ChipMOS Bermuda consolidated ThaiLin in reliance on IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” which requires a company to consolidate an entity, notwithstanding the lack of majority ownership, if such consolidation is necessary to present fairly its financial position and results of operations because of the existence of a parent-subsidiary relationship by means other than record ownership and by means other than record ownership of voting stock. This relationship is based on ChipMOS Bermuda’s power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of ThaiLin.

Estimates and assumptions

Share-based payments

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payments requires determining the most appropriate valuation model for a grant of equity instruments, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.

The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payments are disclosed in Note 31.

Significant judgements and estimates (continued)

Estimates and assumptions (continued)

Impairment of receivables

Receivables are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period, and are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the receivables, the estimated future cash flows of the receivables have been impacted. For the customer that we have reason to believe may have an inability to meet its financial obligations, we conduct an individual examination based on the available facts and circumstances to record a specific reserve. For the customers other than this, a general reserve is established based on a range of percentages applied to aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience. If circumstances change, the estimate of the recoverability of amounts due to us could be reduced by a material amount.

Impairment of non-financial assets

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 of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model. The cash flows 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 sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for the extrapolation purposes.

Defined benefit plans

The cost of the defined benefit pension plan and post-employment benefits and the present value of the pension obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. Further details are disclosed in Note 22.

Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses and tax credit to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to determine that amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

The Group has NT$1,218,080 thousand (US$40,834 thousand) (2012: NT$1,522,756 thousand) of tax losses carried forward. These losses relate to subsidiaries that have a history of losses and may not be used to offset taxable income elsewhere in the Group. The subsidiaries neither have any taxable temporary difference nor any tax planning opportunities available that could partly support the recognition of these losses as deferred tax assets. On this basis, the Group has determined that it cannot recognize deferred tax assets on the tax losses carried forward. If the Group was able to recognize all unrecognized deferred tax assets, profit and equity would have increased by NT$304,520 thousand (US$10,209 thousand).

Further details on deferred taxes are disclosed in Note 9.

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less provisions for depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Details are set out in Note 13.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after the item has been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance and overhaul costs, is normally charged to the consolidated income statements in the year in which it is incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the item, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the item. When an item of property, plant and equipment is sold, its cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the financial statements and any gain or loss resulting from the disposal, being the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is included in consolidated income statements.

Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method, based on the estimated economic useful life of the individual assets, as follows:


Buildings and auxiliary equipment			1 to 54 years
Machinery and equipment			1 to 6 years
Tools			1 to 3 years
Other equipment			1 to 7 years

Impairment of non-financial assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when periodical impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories, deferred tax assets and financial assets), the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the value in use of the asset or cash-generating unit to which it belongs and its fair value less costs to sell, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to the consolidated income statements in the period in which it arises.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period 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 recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss of an asset is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation), had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such impairment loss is credited to the consolidated income statements in the period in which it arises.

2.	*Basis of preparation of financial statements and principal accounting policies (continued)*

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average cost basis and includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognized as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognized as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair values. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are classified into loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At the end of each reporting period, subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including accounts and notes receivables, other receivables, short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents) are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.

Financial instruments (continued)

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are not classified in any of the other categories.

The Group’s available-for-sale equity investments do not have a quoted market price in an active market and their fair value cannot be reliably measured. They are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period subsequent to initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are evaluated for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as accounts receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. The Group assesses the collectability of receivables by performing the account aging analysis and examining current trends in the credit quality of its customers.

For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for similar financial assets, such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss either directly or through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in the consolidated income statements. When an account receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off either directly or against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the consolidated income statements.

Derecognition of financial assets

Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities include bank loans, accounts payable and other monetary liabilities. All financial liabilities are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, they are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are derecognized when they extinguished, i.e. when the obligation is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

Dividends

Dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, because the Company’s Bye Laws grant the directors the authority to declare dividends. Consequently, dividends are recognized immediately as a liability when they are proposed and declared.

Operating lease charges

Where the Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to the consolidated income statements in equal installments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased assets. Lease incentives received are recognized in the consolidated income statements as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals, if any, are charged to the consolidated income statements in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

Treasury stock

Treasury stock is stated at cost and shown as a deduction in equity. When the Company retires treasury stock, the treasury stock account is reduced and the share capital as well as the capital surplus – share premium are reversed on a pro rata basis. When the book value of the treasury stock exceeds the sum of par value and share premium, the difference is charged to capital surplus and to retained earnings for any remaining amount. The Company’s stock held by its subsidiary is treated as treasury stock.

Provisions

A provision is recognized when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognized for a provision is the present value at the end of the reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in finance costs in the consolidated income statements.

Foreign currency translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded using the functional currency rates ruling at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. All differences are taken to profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Foreign currency translation (continued)

The functional currencies of certain overseas subsidiaries are currencies other than the New Taiwan dollars. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of the Company at the exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period, and their income and expense items are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in other comprehensive income and the cumulative balance is included in exchange reserve in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognized in exchange reserve relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in the consolidated income statements.

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the cash flows of overseas subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of overseas subsidiaries which arise throughout the year are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits arising in the course of business will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty.

Rendering of services

The Group recognized revenue upon completion of testing and assembly services. Other criteria that the Group uses to determine when to recognize revenue are: (1) existence of persuasive evidence of the services provided, (2) customers’ fixed commitment to use our service, (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably measured.

The Group does not take ownership of: (1) bare semiconductor wafers received from customers that are assembled into finished semiconductors, and (2) assembled semiconductors received from the customers that it tests. The title and risk of loss remains with the customer for those bare semiconductors and/or assembled semiconductors. Accordingly, the customer-supplied semiconductor materials are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

The Group does not provide warranties to customers except in cases of defects in the assembly services provided and deficiencies in testing services provided. An appropriate sales allowance is recognized in the period during which the sale is recognized, and is estimated based on historical experience.

Interest income

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Government grant

A government grant is recognized at its fair value and credited to the consolidated income statements. The grant relates to land use rights in the People’s Republic of China. The fair value of the land use rights is credited to a deferred income account and is recognized as income in the consolidated income statements over the period of the rights.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred as the expenses do not fulfill the criteria for capitalization under IAS 38 “Intangible Assets”.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to the consolidated income statements in the period in which they are incurred.

Pension and other post-employment benefits

The Group operates defined contribution and defined benefit plans in the Republic of China. For defined contribution retirement benefit plans, payments to the benefit plan are recognized as an expense when the employees have rendered service entitling them to the contribution. For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefit is recognized based on actuarial calculations.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the year end. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period which they incur. Past service costs are recognized in the consolidated income statements on the earlier of the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and the date that the Group recognizes restructuring-related costs. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Group recognises the changes in the net defined benefit obligation, including i) service costs comprising current service costs, past service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements, and ii) net interest expense or income, under cost of revenue, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses and administrative and general expenses in the consolidated income statements.

The employees of the subsidiary within the Group which operates in the PRC are required to participate in the central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. The PRC subsidiary is required to contribute a percentage of its payroll costs to the central pension scheme as specified by the local municipal government.

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. An accrual is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.

Share-based payments

Employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions) or share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash (cash-settled transactions).

Share-based payments (continued)

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model.

That cost is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in capital surplus in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense that had 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.

Cash-settled transactions

The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using an appropriate valuation model. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in employee benefits expense.

Income tax

Income tax represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the consolidated income statements because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Income tax (continued)

Deferred tax is calculated, without discounting, at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realized. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the consolidated income statements, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which were within three months of maturity when acquired.

Earnings per share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company 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.

The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS computations:

Defined benefit plans (continued)

Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of ChipMOS Taiwan and ThaiLin’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilization plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund”. With regard to the utilization of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. The constitution of fair value of plan assets as of January 1, 2012, December 31, 2012 and 2013 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilization Report published by the government.

The overall expected rate of return on plan assets was based on the historical return trends, analysts’ predictions of the market over the life of related obligation, reference to the performance of the Funds operated by the Committee and the consideration of the effect that the minimum return should not be less than the average interest rate on a two-year time deposit published by the local banks.

Contingencies arising from a legal claim

On April 1, 1999, Motorola, Inc. (“Motorola”) and ChipMOS Taiwan entered into an immunity agreement (the “Agreement”), that each party covenanted not to sue each other for the use of certain Ball Grid Array (“BGA”) patents pursuant to the Agreement. In December 2004, Motorola spun off its semiconductor division and thereby formed Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (“Freescale”). Subsequently, Freescale assumed Motorola’s rights and obligations under the Agreement. On October 16, 2006, Freescale unilaterally terminated the Agreement, alleging ChipMOS Taiwan breach of the Agreement. Under the Agreement, ChipMOS Taiwan agreed to pay running royalties for its manufacturing of certain BGA packages covered by Motorola (now Freescale) patents pursuant to the Agreement. As such, ChipMOS Taiwan argued Freescale’s unilateral termination of the Agreement has no legal effect. ChipMOS Taiwan has continued to accrue royalty payments for products it believes are covered by the Agreement. The payments previously returned by Freescale and accrued by ChipMOS Taiwan have been deposited in a separate escrow account. On July 13, 2009, Freescale alleged that ChipMOS Taiwan breached the Agreement by failing to pay royalties on certain BGA packages assembled by ChipMOS Taiwan. Freescale claims that such packages are covered by one or more Freescale patents identified in the Agreement while ChipMOS Taiwan contends that such packages are not covered by any of Freescale’s patents in the Agreement. ChipMOS Taiwan filed an answer to deny all allegations and also filed counterclaims against Freescale alleging Freescale engaged in patent misuse by seeking to obtain royalties on certain of ChipMOS Taiwan’s BGA products that were not covered by any Freescale patent included under the Agreement, and for declaratory judgement of patent non-infringement and invalidity. In response, on December 11, 2009, Freescale filed a motion to dismiss the declaratory judgment counterclaims filed by ChipMOS Taiwan and to stay all other patent related claims and issues until its breach of contract claims could be decided. A Summary Judgment granting in part and denying in part the motions of both Freescale and ChipMOS Taiwan was given by court on July 29, 2010. The above order finds that the Agreement constituted a “Total Sales Royalty” agreement, however, Freescale’s motion was partly denied for patent misuse. A mediation was held by both parties on October 28, 2010, but was unsuccessful. The fact discovery process regarding patent misuse issue closed in late April 2011. The expert discovery process regarding patent misuse issue closed in the middle of June 2011. An Order granting Freescale’s motion for partial summary judgment and denying ChipMOS Taiwan’s cross-motion for partial judgment was given on September 8, 2011. An Order granting in part and denying in part ChipMOS Taiwan’s Motion for Reconsideration was given on March 30, 2012. The Court reinstated ChipMOS Taiwan’s claims for patent misuse and its affirmative defenses for patent exhausted, mutual mistake and license. Freescale refiled its motions to strike ChipMOS Taiwan’s jury demand and for summary judgment on ChipMOS Taiwan’s affirmative defenses of exhaustion, mutual mistake and license. The Court has granted those motions on January 24, 2013 and later denied ChipMOS Taiwan’s motion for reconsideration of those rulings in April 2013. On June 20, 2013 both parties reached a settlement agreement to settle the pending litigation in a judicial settlement conference conducted in Court. As part of the settlement agreement, ChipMOS Taiwan agreed to pay US$ 8,000 thousand (NT$238,640 thousand) to settle the claims in exchange for the parties entering into a new License Agreement for the use of Freescale’s BGA packaging technology from 2011 to 2015 by a royalty fee of US$1,000 thousand (NT$29,830 thousand) per year and filing a Joint Stipulation for the Dismissal of all claims pending between them. The Joint Stipulation for Dismissal was filed on July 26, 2013 and the case was closed by the Court. ChipMOS Taiwan previously accrued royalty of NT$457,888 thousand to Freescale. After settlement, ChipMOS Taiwan reversed the over-accrued royalty of NT$140,435 thousand (Note 6) to other operating income.

Significant commitments and contingencies (continued)

Contingencies arising from a legal claim (continued)

On April 20, 1999, ChipMOS Taiwan entered into a semiconductor packaging technology license agreement with Tessera Technologies, Inc. (Tessera). In February 2006, ChipMOS Taiwan and ChipMOS USA received notice of a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Tessera, alleging infringement of several Tessera patents and breach of an existing license agreement with ChipMOS Taiwan. The fact discovery has been stayed in accordance with a Northern District of California Court order issued on May 24, 2007. On April 21, 2008, Tessera requested that the International Trade Commission (ITC) investigate ChipMOS Bermuda, ChipMOS Taiwan and ChipMOS USA (collectively referred to as the Companies) on the basis of alleged violations of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. In its request for investigation (“ITC-649 Investigation”), Tessera alleged that the Companies infringed certain patents among which are three that were the subject of the stayed litigation in the Northern District of California. Tessera also requested that the ITC issue an exclusion order to enjoin the importation of accused products into the United States. On September 30, 2008, Judge of Northern District of California Court (“Judge”) granted a motion to extend the hearing date from March 16 to March 24, 2009 and target date from August 28 to November 2, 2009. On February 10, 2009, the Judge ordered the procedural schedule in the ITC-649 Investigation be stayed until the ITC issues its Final Determination in the ITC-605 Investigation. The target date of Initial Determination was also extended from December 7, 2009 to February 8, 2010. On March 13, 2009, after the close of discovery, Tessera submitted a request to terminate the ITC-649 Investigation. On July 17, 2009, the Judge issued an order granting the request to terminate the ITC-649 Investigation. No petitions for review were filed. The ITC had determined not to review the Initial Determination and issued an order to terminate the investigation on August 7, 2009. The ITC’s Final Determination for the ITC-605 Investigation issued in May 2009 was appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”). CAFC confirmed ITC’s finding in May 2011. CAFC’s above decision was appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The United States Supreme Court denied the above petition for review of the 605 Investigation in December 2011. Due to the denial of the petition for review of the 605 Investigation by the United States Supreme Court, the stayed litigation in the Northern District of California Court resumed. On July 19, 2012, Tessera filed a stipulation with the court dismissing its breach of contract claim against the Companies. Accordingly, this litigation was then limited to only Tessera’s patent infringement allegations against the Companies. A court-ordered mediation was held on December 13, 2012 but was unsuccessful. On November 8, 2013, the parties reached a settlement agreement to settle the pending litigation. As part of the settlement agreement, ChipMOS Taiwan agreed to pay a one-time payment of US$1,375 thousand (NT$40,418 thousand), including 20% Taiwan tax withholding, to Tessera in exchange for Tessera releasing, discharging and agreeing to never sue ChipMOS Bermuda, ChipMOS Taiwan and ChipMOS USA relating to the license agreement. On November 9, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation with the Court to dismiss the pending litigation.

Financial risk management and fair values of financial instruments (continued)

Financial risk management (continued)

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 foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk (such as equity price risk).

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rate relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Group’s functional currency) and the Group’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily United States dollars (“US$”) and Japanese Yen (“JPY”). The Group does not hold or issue any derivative for trading purposes or to hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Group mitigates this risk by conducting sales and purchases transactions in the same currency, whenever possible. Furthermore, as net investments in foreign subsidiaries are for strategic purpose, they are not hedged by the Group.

The following table details the Group’s exposure at the end of the reporting period to currency risk arising from recognized monetary assets or liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity to which they relate.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or 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 bank loans with floating interest rates.

The Group manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate bank loans.

At December 31, 2013, it is estimated that a general increase or decrease of 100 basis points (1%) in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would decrease or increase the Group’s profit by approximately NT$75,504 thousand (2012: NT$93,342 thousand).

iii)

Equity price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The Group manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risk and return profiles. At the reporting date, no aforesaid equity security was held and no sensitivity analysis was disclosed.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily accounts and other receivables) and from its financing activities (primarily deposits with banks and financial instruments).

Each business unit performs ongoing credit evaluation of the debtors’ financial condition according to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. The Group maintains an account for allowance for doubtful receivables based upon the available facts and circumstances, historical collection and write-off experiences of all trade and other receivables which consequently minimizes the Group’s exposure to bad debts.

The Group has three customers that had balances greater than ten percent of total notes and accounts receivable as of January 1, 2012, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013, respectively, as detailed in the below table. The credit concentration risk of other accounts and notes receivable is insignificant.


Customers	January 1, 2012		December 31, 2012		December 31, 2013
Micron		18%		7%		13%
Novatek		13%		18%		17%
Winbond Electronics Corporation		6%		11%		7%

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group’s finance unit in accordance with the Group’s policy. Bank balances are held with financial institutions of good standing. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from the default of counter-parties is limited to the carrying amount of these instruments.

Financial risk management and fair values of financial instruments (continued)

Fair values of financial instruments

The Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost approximate their fair values.

ii)

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

•

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.

•

Derivative financial instruments are measured with reference to quoted market prices. If no quoted market price exists, the non-optional derivative financial instruments are measured at the present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted based on the applicable yield curves derived from quoted interest rates. The optional derivative financial instruments are measured using option pricing models.

•

The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

Capital management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the balance between debt and equity.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes bank loans of NT$7,550,408 thousand (disclosed in Notes 21 and 23), less cash and cash equivalents of NT$13,372,770 thousand (disclosed in Note 17) and equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising share capital of NT$37,165 thousand and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company of NT$13,527,498 thousand disclosed in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

The Group reviews the capital structure on an ongoing basis. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and the issue of new debt or the repayment of existing debt.

The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2012.

The Group monitors capital using the net debt-to-equity ratio, the percentages of which as of January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 and 2013 were as follows:
