Significant changes in accounting policy resulted from new, revised and amended standards and interpretations
in issue but not yet effective
|
Except for the following, the
Group believes that the adoption of aforementioned new, revised or
amended standards and interpretations will not have a material
effect on the Group’s accounting policies. As of the date that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
were authorized for issue, the Group continues in evaluating the impact on its financial position and operating results as a result
of the initial adoption of the below standards and interpretations. The related impact will be disclosed when the Group completes
the evaluation.
IFRS 9 “Financial
Instruments”
Recognition and measurement
of financial assets
With regards to financial assets,
all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”
are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets
is stated below.
For the Group’s debt
instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding,
their classification and measurement are as follows:
|
1)
|
For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the
contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment
loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;
|
|
2)
|
For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both
the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using
the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment
gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative
gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
|
Except for above, all other
financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. However, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present
subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with
only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative
gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
The impairment of financial
assets
IFRS 9 requires that impairment
loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required
for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets
arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee
contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not
increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a
financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance
for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.
For purchased or originated
credit-impaired financial assets, the Group takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating
the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with
a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
Hedge accounting
The main changes in hedge accounting
amended the application requirements for hedge accounting to better reflect the entity’s risk management activities. Compared
with IAS 39, the main changes include: (1) enhancing types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening
the risk eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way hedging derivative instruments are accounted
for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness assessment with the principle of economic
relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.
Amendments to IFRS 10 and
IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”
The amendments stipulated that,
when the Group sells or contributes assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture,
the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Group loses control over a subsidiary that
contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized
in full.
Conversely, when the Group
sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from
the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture,
i.e. the Group’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Group loses control over a subsidiary that does
not contain a business but retains significant influence or joint control in an associate or a joint venture, the gain or loss
resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or
joint venture, i.e. the Group’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.
IFRS 15 “Revenue from
Contracts with Customers” and amendments
IFRS 15 establishes principles
for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersede IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction
Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations from January 1, 2018.
When applying IFRS 15, an entity
shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps:
|
—
|
Identify the contract with the customer;
|
|
—
|
Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
|
|
—
|
Determine the transaction price;
|
|
—
|
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and
|
|
—
|
Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
|
In identifying performance
obligations, IFRS 15 and related amendment require that a good or service is distinct if it is capable of being distinct (for example,
the Group regularly sells it separately) and the promise to transfer it is distinct within the context of the contract (i.e. the
nature of the promise in the contract is to transfer each of those goods or services individually rather than to transfer combined
items).
When IFRS 15 and related amendment
are effective, the Group may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively
with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.
IFRS 16 “Leases”
IFRS 16 sets out the accounting
standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.
Under IFRS 16, if the Group
is a lessee, it shall recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except
for low-value and short-term leases. The Group may elect to apply the accounting method similar to the accounting for operating
lease under IAS 17 to the low-value and short-term leases. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group should
present the depreciation expense charged on the right-of-use asset separately from interest expense accrued on the lease liability;
interest is computed by using effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal
portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities; cash payments for interest portion are classified within
operating activities.
The application of IFRS 16
is not expected to have a material impact on the accounting of the Group as lessor.
When IFRS 16 becomes effective,
the Group may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with
the cumulative effect of the initial application of this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.
Amendments to IAS 12 “Recognition
of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses”
The amendment clarifies that
the difference between the carrying amount of the debt instrument measured at fair value and its tax base gives rise to a temporary
difference, even though there are unrealized losses on that asset, irrespective of whether the Group expects to recover the carrying
amount of the debt instrument by sale or by holding it and collecting contractual cash flows.
In addition, in determining
whether to recognize a deferred tax asset, the Group should assess a deductible temporary difference in combination with all of
its other deductible temporary differences, unless the tax law restricts the utilization of losses to deduction against income
of a specific type, in which case, a deductible temporary difference is assessed in combination only with other deductible temporary
differences of the appropriate type. The amendment also stipulates that, when determining whether to recognize a deferred tax asset,
the estimate of probable future taxable profit may include some of the Group’s assets for more than their carrying amount
if there is sufficient evidence that it is probable that the Group will achieve this, and that the estimate for future taxable
profit should exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences.

Other significant accounting policies
|
Except for the following, the
accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Group’s
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Pension cost for an interim
period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial
year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant
one-off events.
Income tax expense represents
the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated
by applying to an interim period’s pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
A translation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements into U.S. dollars is included solely for the convenience of the readers, and has been translated
from New Taiwan dollar (NT$) at the exchange rate as set forth in the statistical release by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board of
the United States, which was NT$31.27 to US$1.00 as of September 30, 2016. The translation should not be construed as a representation
that the NT$ amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate
of exchange.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
|
Except those discussed below,
the same critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty of condensed consolidated financial statements
have been followed in these condensed consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group’s
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.
For the associate accounted
for using the equity method, the Group recognized goodwill which is included within the carrying amount of the investment as of
each investment date as the excess of cost of investments over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s
identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the respective investment dates; as a result, it involves critical
accounting judgment and estimates when determining aforementioned fair values. The management engaged external appraiser to identify
and evaluate the associate’s identifiable tangible assets, intangible assets and liabilities. The scope of such evaluation
includes assumptions as current replacement cost of tangible assets, the categories of intangible assets and their expected economic
benefits, growth rates and discount rates used in cash flow analysis. The amounts of differences between fair value of identified
tangible and intangible assets and the carrying amount at each respective investment dates are depreciated or amortized over their
remaining useful lives or expected future economic benefit lives. The management considered that the related evaluation and assumption
has appropriately reflected the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

to known amounts in cash and the risk of changes in
values is insignificant. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting
short-term cash commitments rather than for investments or other purposes.

The Group’s average credit
terms were 30 to 90 days. Allowance for doubtful debts is assessed by reference to the collectability of receivables by evaluating
the account aging, historical experience and current financial condition of customers.
As of December 31, 2015 and
September 30, 2016, except that the Group’s five largest customers accounted for 26% and 33% of accounts receivable, respectively,

the Group had not provided an allowance for doubtful debts on trade receivables at each balance sheet date since there has not
been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered collectible. The Group did not hold any collateral
or other credit enhancements over these balances nor did it have a legal right to offset against any amounts owed by the Group
to counterparties.

Due
to the Group’s future operation plans and capacity evaluation or production demands in segment of packaging and testing,
the Group believed that a portion of property, plant and equipment was not used and recognized an impairment loss of NT$151,091
thousand and NT$886,846 thousand (US$28,361 thousand) under the line item of other operating income and expenses in the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively. The recoverable amount
of a portion of the impaired property, plant and equipment is determined by its fair value less costs of disposal, of which the
fair value is based on the quoted prices of assets with similar obsolescence provided by the vendors in market. The recent quoted
prices of assets are a Level 3 input in terms of IFRS 13 because the market is not very active. The recoverable amount of the
other portion of the impaired property, plant and equipment is determined on the basis of its value in use. The Group expects
to derive zero future cash flows from these assets.
Each
class of property, plant and equipment was depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives:

Pursuant
to the above syndicated bank loans agreements, the Company and some of its subsidiaries should maintain certain financial covenants
including current ratio, leverage ratio, tangible net assets and interest coverage ratio. Such financial ratios are calculated
based on the Group’s annual audited consolidated financial statements or semi-annual reviewed consolidated financial statements
or subsidiaries’ annual audited financial statements. The Group was in compliance with all of the loan covenants as of December
31, 2015 and June 30, 2016. The Company’s subsidiaries were in compliance with all of the loan covenants as of December
31, 2015.
The
Group had sufficient long term credit facility obtained before December 31, 2015 to refinance a portion of loans on a long-term
basis. Therefore, NT$2,105,883 thousand were not classified as current portion of long-term borrowings as of December 31, 2015.

Retained
earnings and dividend policy
|
In
accordance with the amendments to the Company Act in May 2015, the recipients of dividends and bonuses are limited to shareholders
and do not include employees. The consequential amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation proposed for 2015
was resolved at the Company’s annual shareholders’ meetings. For information about the accrual basis of the employees’
compensation and remuneration to directors and the actual appropriations, please refer to employee benefits expense under profit
before income tax in Note 23(e).
The
amended Articles of Incorporation of ASE Inc. (the “Articles”) in June 2016 provides that annual net income shall
be distributed in the following order:
|
1)
|
Replenishment
of deficits;
|
|
2)
|
10.0%
as legal reserve;
|
|
3)
|
Special
reserve appropriated or reversed in accordance with laws or regulations set forth by
the authorities concerned;
|
|
4)
|
Addition
or deduction of realized gains or losses on equity instruments at fair value through
other comprehensive income.
|
The
Company is currently in the mature growth stage. To meet the capital needs for business development now and in the future and
satisfy the shareholders’ demand for cash inflows, the Company shall use residual dividend policy to distribute dividends,
of which the cash dividend is not lower than 30% of the total dividend distribution, with the remainder to be distributed in stock.
A distribution plan is also to be made by the board of directors and passed for resolution in the shareholders’ meeting.
Appropriation
of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s capital surplus. Legal reserve may
be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s capital
surplus, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
Under
Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special
Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, the Company should appropriate or reverse to a special reserve.
Expect
for non-ROC resident shareholders, all shareholders receiving the dividends are allowed a tax credit equal to their proportionate
share of the income tax paid by the Company.
The
appropriations of earnings for 2014 and 2015 resolved at the Company’s annual shareholders’ meetings in June 2015
and June 2016, respectively, were as follows:

Fair
values of the Company’s shares held by subsidiaries are based on the closing price from an available published price quotation,
which is a Level 1 input in terms of IFRS 13, at the balance sheet dates.
The
Company issued ordinary shares in connection with its merger with its subsidiaries. The shares held by its subsidiaries were reclassified
from investments accounted for using the equity method to treasury shares on the proportion owned by the Company.
Under
the Securities and Exchange Act in the ROC, the Company shall neither pledge treasury shares nor exercise shareholders’
rights on these shares, such as rights to dividends and voting. The subsidiaries holding treasury shares, however, retain shareholders’
rights except the rights to participate in any share issuance for cash and voting.

Income
tax assessments

Income
tax returns of ASE Inc. and its ROC subsidiaries have been examined by authorities through 2012 and through 2013 to 2014, respectively.
ASE Inc. and some of its ROC subsidiaries disagreed with the result of examinations relating to its income tax returns for 2004
through 2008 and 2010 through 2012 and appealed to the tax authorities. A settlement was reached in June 2015. The related income
tax expenses in the years resulting from the examinations have been accrued in respective tax years or in the year of the settlement.

The
Group is able to settle the employees’ compensation by cash or shares. The Group presumed that the entire amount of the
compensation would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the
potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the board of directors approve the number
of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

In
November 2015, the shareholders of USISH approved a share option plan for the employees of USISH. Each unit represents the right
to purchase one ordinary share of USISH when exercised. The options are valid for 10 years, non-transferable and exercisable at
certain percentages subsequent to the second anniversary of the grant date incorporated with certain performance conditions. For
any subsequent changes in USISH’s capital structure, the exercise price is accordingly adjusted.

respectively.
Fair
value of share options
Share
options granted by the Company and USISH in 2015 were measured using the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s
Trinomial Tree Model (1995) and the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, respectively, and the inputs to the models were as follows:

Expected
volatility was based on the historical share price volatility over the past 10 years of ASE Inc. and the comparable companies
of USISH, respectively. Under the Hull & White Model (2004) incorporated with Ritchken’s Trinomial Tree Model (1995),
the Company assumed that employees would exercise the options after vesting date when the share price was 1.88 times the exercise
price to allow for the effects of early exercise.

In
May 2016, the Company’s subsidiary, ASE Test, Inc., acquired 60% shareholdings of TLJ with a total consideration determined
primarily based on independent professional appraisal reports. NT$41,739 thousand (US$1,335 thousand) out of the total consideration
was paid to key management personnel and related parties. As of September 30, 2016, the Group has not completed the identification
of the difference between the cost of the investment and the Group’s share of the net fair value of TLJ’s identifiable
assets and liabilities and, as a result, the difference was recognized as goodwill provisionally.

did not cease to have control over USIE and capital surplus was decreased by NT$1,912,887 thousand (US$61,173 thousand).

39,603 thousand shares in USI to the Company’s subsidiary, UGTW, at NT$20 (US$0.64) per share and, as a result, the Group’s

OPERATING
LEASE ARRANGEMENTS
|
Except
those discussed in Note 17, the Company and its subsidiary, ASE Test, Inc., lease the land on which their buildings are located
under various operating lease agreements with the ROC government expiring through June 2035. The agreements grant these entities
the option to renew the leases and reserve the right for the lessor to adjust the lease payments upon an increase in the assessed
value of the land and to terminate the leases under certain conditions. In addition, the Group leases buildings, machinery and
equipment under operating leases.
The
subsidiaries’ offices located in U.S.A. and Japan, etc. are leased from other parties and the lease term will expire through
2016 to 2023 with the option to renew the leases upon expiration.
The
Group recognized rental expense of NT$1,057,269 thousand and NT$1,073,013 thousand (US$34,314 thousand) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively.
The
capital structure of the Group consists of debt and equity. The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group
will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and
equity balance. Key management personnel of the Group periodically reviews the cost of capital and the risks associated with each
class of capital. In order to balance the overall capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
the number of new shares issued or repurchased, and the amount of new debt issued or existing debt redeemed.
The
Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements except those discussed in Note 18.

b)
|
Valuation
techniques and inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 3 fair value measurement
|
The
fair value of the Group’s investments in unquoted shares on Level 3 fair value measurement were measured using market approach
based on investees’ recent financing activities, technical development, valuation of investees comparable companies, market
conditions and other economic indicators.
The
fair values of investments in limited partnership are measured using discounted cash flow technique and a comparable multiple
technique. The significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow technique were discount rates of 12.34% and the
terminal growth rates of 2.50%. Any significant increase in discount rates or any significant decrease in terminal growth rates
would result in a decrease in the fair value of the investments in limited partnership. The significant unobservable input used
in the comparable multiple technique was EBITDA multiples of 9.73. Any significant decrease in multiples would result in a decrease
in the fair value of the investments in limited partnership.

Financial
risk management objectives and policies
|
The
derivative instruments used by the Group are to mitigate risks arising from ordinary business operations. All derivative transactions
entered into by the Group are designated as either hedging or trading. Derivative transactions entered into for hedging purposes
must hedge risk against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates arising from operating activities. The currencies
and the amount of derivative instruments held by the Group must match its hedged assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies.
The
Group’s risk management department monitors risks to mitigate risk exposures, reports unsettled position, transaction balances
and related gains or losses to the Group’s chief financial officer on monthly basis.
The
Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest
rates. Gains or losses arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of a variety of derivative financial instruments
were approximately offset by those of hedged items. Interest rate risk was not significant due to the cost of capital was expected
to be fixed.
There
had been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.
|
a)
|
Foreign
currency exchange rate risk
|
The
Group had sales and purchases as well as financing activities denominated in foreign currency which exposed the Group to foreign
currency exchange rate risk. The Group entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange
rate risk to minimize the fluctuations of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
The
carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities (including those eliminated
upon consolidation) as well as derivative instruments which exposed the Group to foreign currency exchange rate risk at each balance
sheet date are presented in Note 36.
The
Group was principally subject to the impact to exchange rate fluctuation in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen against NT$ or Chinese
Yuan Renminbi (“CNY”). 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency exchange rate risk internally
to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign currency
exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included financial assets and liabilities and inter-company receivables and payables
within the Group. The changes in profit before income tax due to a 1% change in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen both against NT$
and CNY would be NT$56,000 thousand and NT$218,000 thousand (US$6,972 thousand) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and
2016, respectively. Hedging contracts and hedged items have been taken into account while measuring the changes in profit before
income tax. The abovementioned sensitivity analysis mainly focused on the foreign currency monetary items at the end of the reporting
period. As the period-end exposure did not reflect the exposure for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, the abovementioned
sensitivity analysis was unrepresentative of those periods.
Except
a portion of long-term borrowings and bonds payable at fixed interest rates, the Group was exposed to interest rate risk because
group entities borrowed funds at floating interest rates. Changes in market interest rates will lead to variances in effective
interest rates of borrowings
from which the future cash flow fluctuations arise. The Group entered into a variety of derivative
financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk to minimize the fluctuations of assets and liabilities denominated in interest
rate.
The
carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at each balance
sheet date were as follows:

For
assets and liabilities with floating interest rates, a 100 basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate
risk internally to key management personnel. If interest rates had been 100 basis points (1%) higher or lower and all other variables
held constant, the Group’s profit before income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 would have decreased
or increased approximately by NT$161,000 thousand and NT$320,000 thousand (US$10,233 thousand), respectively. Hedging contracts
and hedged items have been taken into account while measuring the changes in profit before income tax. The abovementioned sensitivity
analysis mainly focused on the interest rate items at the end of the reporting period. As the period-end exposure did not reflect
the exposure for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, the abovementioned sensitivity analysis was unrepresentative
of those periods.
The
Group was exposed to equity or debt price risk through its investments in financial assets at FVTPL, including private-placement
convertible bonds, quoted shares, open-end mutual funds, and available-for-sale financial assets. If equity or debt prices were
1% higher or lower, profit before income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 would have increased or decreased
approximately by NT$7,000 thousand and NT$7,200 thousand (US$230 thousand), respectively, and other comprehensive income before
income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 would have increased or decreased approximately by NT$9,000 thousand
and NT$12,000 thousand (US$384 thousand), respectively.
In
addition, the Group was also exposed to the Company’s ordinary share price risk through Bonds Options recognized as financial
liabilities held for trading. 7% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting price risk internally to key management personnel.
If the Company’s ordinary share price increased or decreased by 7%, profit before income tax for the nine months ended September
30, 2015 and 2016 would have decreased approximately by NT$586,000 thousand and NT$644,000 thousand (US$20,595 thousand), respectively,
or increased approximately by NT$488,000 thousand and NT$528,000 thousand (US$16,885 thousand), respectively.
Credit
risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.
The Group’s credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, receivables and other financial assets. The Group’s
maximum exposure to credit risk was the carrying amounts of financial assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
The
Group dealt with counterparties creditworthy and has a credit policy and trade receivable management procedures to ensure recovery
and evaluation of trade receivables. Except for those discussed in Note 9, the Group’s counterparties consisted of a large
number of customers and banks and there was no significant concentration of credit risk exposure.
The
Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate working capital and banking facilities to fulfill the demand for cash flow
used in the Group’s operation and capital expenditure. The Group also monitors its compliance with all the loan covenants.
Liquidity risk is not considered to be significant.
In
the table below, financial liabilities with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of
the probability of counter-parties choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities
were based on the agreed repayment dates.
To
the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amounts were derived from the interest rates at each balance
sheet date.

The
amounts included above for floating interest rate instruments for non-derivative financial liabilities was subject to change if
changes in floating interest rates differ from those estimates of interest rates determined at each balance sheet date.
The
following table detailed the Group‘s liquidity analysis for its derivative financial instruments. The table was based on
the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted
gross cash inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amounts payable or receivable are
not fixed,
the amounts disclosed have been determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by the yield
curves at each balance sheet date.

a.
|
In
November 2015, the Company received a legal brief filed by SPIL in connection with a
lawsuit brought by SPIL against the Company which was filed with Kaohsiung District Court.
On June 27, 2016, as SPIL failed to pay the court expenses upon the deadline, the Kaohsiung
District Court dismissed the lawsuit pursuant to the relevant law. As a result, the lawsuit
does not have material impact on the financial position and the result of operations
of the Group.
|
|
b.
|
On
December 20, 2013, the Kaohsiung Environmental Protection Bureau (“KEPB”)
imposed a fine of NT$102,014 thousand (“the Administrative Fine”) upon the
Company for the violation of the Water Pollution Control Act . The Company filed an administrative
appeal to nullify the Administrative Fine, which, however, was dismissed by the Kaohsiung
City Government. The Company then filed a lawsuit with the Kaohsiung High Administrative
Court seeking to revoke the dismissal decision made by the Kaohsiung City Government
(the “Administrative Appeal Decision”) and the Administrative Fine, and to
demand a refund of the fine paid by the Company. The judgment of the Kaohsiung High Administrative
Court was rendered on March 22, 2016, ruling to revoke the Administrative Appeal Decision
and the Administrative Fine, and to dismiss the other complaint filed by the Company
(i.e., to demand a refund of the fine paid by the Company). The Company appealed against
the unfavorable ruling on April 14, 2016 and the case is now being heard by the Supreme
Administrative Court. Meanwhile, owing to the event above, in January 2014, the Kaohsiung
District Prosecutors Office charged the Company with violation of the Waste Disposal
Act. The Kaohsiung District Court handed down the judgment and the Company was fined
NT$3,000 thousand. Then the Company appealed against the judgment to the Kaohsiung Branch
of Taiwan High Court, and the Kaohsiung Branch of Taiwan High Court rendered on September
29, 2015 a final judgment of finding the Company not guilty of the criminal charge.
|
|
c.
|
For
the future development and sustainable development of semiconductor industry , the Company’s
board of directors approved in June 2016 to enter into and execute a joint share exchange
agreement with SPIL to establish ASE Industrial Holding Co., Ltd. (”HoldCo”)
and HoldCo will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of both ASE and SPIL in the
way of share exchange. The share exchange will be conducted at an exchange ratio of 1
ordinary share of the Company for 0.5 ordinary share of HoldCo, and at NT$55 (US$1.76)
in cash per SPIL’s ordinary share, which has been adjusted to NT$51.2 (US$1.64)
after SPIL’s appropriation of earnings in 2016 (Note 13).
|
As
of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the share exchange transaction which is
based on the share exchange agreement is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions precedent (including but not limited
to the unconditional approvals at the Company and SPIL’s shareholders meeting, the approval or consent to consummate the
transaction from all relevant competent authorities). Unless the Company and SPIL entering into an another agreement, this share
exchange agreement shall be terminated automatically if the aforementioned conditions precedent are not satisfied or to be waived
on or before December 31, 2017.
Due
to the aforementioned share exchange agreement, treasury shares of the Company and the convertible bonds embedded with conversion
option recognized as equity issued by the Company were affected as follows:
|
1)
|
For
the outstanding balance of the Bonds, except where the Bonds have been redeemed or repurchased
and cancelled or converted by the holders by exercising their conversion rights before
the share exchange record date, the holders of the Bonds may, after the Company obtains
approval from all relevant competent authorities and after the share exchange record
date, convert such outstanding balance into newly issued HoldCo common shares. The conversion
shall be subject to applicable laws, the indenture of the Bonds and the share exchange
ratio.
|
|
2)
|
Treasury
shares purchased before the share exchange record date for the conversion of the Currency
Linked Bonds will be exchanged to HoldCo’s ordinary shares, which will still be
hold by the Company, based on the agreed share exchange ratio. The conversion price of
the Currency Linked Bonds shall also be adjusted in accordance with the agreed share
exchange ratio in the joint share exchange agreement.
|
|
3)
|
For
the employee share options issued by the Company upon the approval from relevant competent
authorities before the execution of the joint share exchange agreement, HoldCo will assume
the Company’s obligations under the employee share options as of the share exchange
record date. Except that the exercise price and amount shall be adjusted in accordance
with the agreed share exchange ratio and that the shares subject to exercise shall be
converted into HoldCo’s newly issued ordinary shares, all other terms and conditions
for issuance will remain the same. The final execution arrangements shall be made by
HoldCo in compliance with relevant laws and regulations and subject to the approval of
relevant competent authorities.

management’s discussion and analysis of our interim financial results as of and for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2016. The interim financial information as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 and the
comparative financial information as of December 31, 2015 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 set forth
below are derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this
report on Form 6-K. Those unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard No. 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, as issued by the International
Accounting Standard Board. Those financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of

(“IFRS”), International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), Interpretations of IFRS and Interpretations of
IAS issued by International Accounting Standards Board.
Results of Operations
Operating Revenues
Our operating revenues for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2016 were NT$197,755.5 million (US$6,324.1 million), which represented a 4.8% decrease from NT$207,754.4
million for the same period in 2015. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, net revenue generated from our electronic
manufacturing services business, packaging business and testing business represented approximately 40.8%, 46.4% and 10.0% of our
total net revenue, respectively.
Packaging revenues increased 4.7% to NT$91,662.4
million (US$2,931.3 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 from NT$87,513.8 million for the same period ended
September 30, 2015. The increase in our packaging revenues was due to the stronger demand in our products in Bumping, Flip Chip,
WLP & SiP and IC wirebonding. Testing revenues increased 4.7% to NT$19,728.9 million (US$630.9 million) for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2016 from NT$18,836.0 million for the same period ended September 30, 2015. The increase was due to
an increase in sales volume for our testing business. Revenues from our electronic manufacturing services business decreased 18.4%
to NT$80,768.5 million (US$2,582.9 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 from NT$98,941.3 million for the
same period in 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in outsourced orders for communications products and consumer
products.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit was NT$37,817.1 million
(US$1,209.4 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to NT$36,866.4 million for the same period in
2015. We had a gross margin of 19.1% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to a gross margin of 17.7% for
the same period in 2015. This increase in gross margin was primarily due to a decline in our electronic manufacturing services
business, which had a lower gross margin.
Operating costs decreased 6.4% to NT$159,938.4
million (US$5,114.8 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 from NT$170,888.0 million for the same period in
2015. Raw material costs decreased 13.7% to NT$88,633.1 million (US$2,834.4 million) for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2016 from NT$102,736.5 million for the same period in 2015. As a percentage of operating revenues, raw material costs decreased
to 44.8% from 49.5%, primarily as a result of a decrease in orders in our electronic manufacturing services business, which had
relatively higher raw material costs compared to our other businesses. Labor costs slightly increased 0.7% to NT$26,264.5 million
(US$839.9 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 from NT$26,092.7 million for the same period in 2015. As
a percentage of operating revenues, labor costs increased to 13.3% from 12.6%, which was due to more overtime expenses from more
holidays under lower operating revenues. Depreciation, amortization and rental expenses decreased 0.6% to NT$21,102.5 million (US$674.8
million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 from NT$21,225.3 million for the same period in 2015. As a percentage
of operating revenues, depreciation, amortization and rental expenses slightly increased to 10.7% from 10.2%. Although the depreciation,
amortization and rental expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were almost flat, an increase in depreciation,
amortization and rental expenses as a percentage of operating revenues was due to a decline of our operating revenues.
Profit from Operations
We had profit from operations of NT$17,871.3
million (US$571.5 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, which represented a decrease from NT$18,012.0 million
for the same period in 2015. Our operating margin was 9.0% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to 8.7%
for the same period in 2015. The increase of operating margin was primarily due to an increase in gross margin.
Operating expenses increased 2.4% to NT$19,241.5
million (US$615.3 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 from NT$18,782.7 million for the same period in 2015.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses.
Selling expenses decreased 4.0% to NT$2,569.3
million (US$82.2 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 from NT$2,675.1 million for the same period in 2015,
primarily due to a decrease in amortization expenses in connection with intangible assets, which we acquired in prior mergers fully
amortized. Selling expenses as a percentage of our operating revenues kept at 1.3% for the nine-month periods ended September 30,
2016 and 2015.
General and administrative expenses increased
4.9% to NT$8,371.7 million (US$267.7 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 from NT$7,983.6 million for the
same period in 2015, primarily due to an increase in our professional fee incurred related to different investing strategies and
an increase in salary expenses in connection with the costs related to stock options granted in the fourth quarter of 2015. General
and administrative expenses as a percentage of our operating revenues increased to 4.2% for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2016 from 3.8% for the same period in 2015.
Research and development expenses increased
2.2% to NT$8,300.5 million (US$265.4 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 from NT$8,124.1 million for the
same period in 2015, primarily due to an
increase in salary expenses from the costs related to stock options granted in the fourth
quarter of 2015. Research and development expenses as a percentage of our operating revenues increased to 4.2% for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2016 from 3.9% for the same period in 2015.
Net Non-Operating Incomes and Expenses
Net non-operating income and expenses decreased
to a net income of NT$578.2 million (US$18.5 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 from a net income of NT$712.9
million for the same period in 2015. This was primarily due to a lesser gain of NT$1,311.2 million (US$41.9 million) from the change
in the net gain/loss, on valuation of financial assets and liabilities and net foreign exchange gain/loss which we utilize from
time to time to reduce the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our results of operations but offset by an increase of NT$1,191.7
million (US$38.1 million) in the share of profit of associates and joint ventures.
Income Tax Expense
We recognized an income tax expense of
NT$3,230.0 million (US$103.3 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to an income tax expense of NT$2,575.9
million for the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the tax on our real estate business which
generated more operating revenues in 2016.
Net Profit
As a result of the foregoing, we incurred
a net profit of NT$15,219.5 million (US$486.7 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, which represented a
decrease from NT$16,149.0 million for the same period in 2015. Our diluted earnings per ADS decreased to NT$7.90 (US$0.25) for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to diluted earnings per ADS of NT$9.42 for the same period in 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically been able to satisfy
our working capital needs from our cash flow from operations. We have historically funded our capacity expansion from internally
generated cash and, to the extent necessary, the issuance of equity securities and borrowings. If adequate funds are not available
on satisfactory terms, we may be forced to curtail our expansion plans. Moreover, our ability to meet our working capital needs
from cash flow from operations will be affected by the demand for our packaging, testing services and electronic manufacturing
services, which in turn may be affected by several factors. Many of these factors are outside of our control, such as economic
downturns and declines in the prices of our services or products caused by a downturn in the industry. To the extent we do not
generate sufficient cash flow from our operations to meet our cash requirements, we will have to rely on external financing. We
believe that our existing cash, marketable securities, expected cash flow from operations and existing credit lines under our loan
facilities will be sufficient to meet our capital expenditures, working capital, cash obligations under our existing debt and lease
arrangements, and other requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Our cash and cash equivalents as of September
30, 2016 were NT$37,661.4 million (US$1,204.4 million), which represented a 31.8% decrease compared to NT$55,251.2 million as
of December 31, 2015. Our long-term
borrowings as of September 30, 2016, excluding short-term borrowings of NT$31,008.1 million
(US$991.6 million), short-term bills payable of NT$1,999.3 million (US$63.9 million), current portion of bonds payable of NT$9,384.9
million (US$300.1 million) and current portion of long-term borrowings of NT$6,272.8 million (US$200.6 million), were NT$70,812.9
million (US$2,264.5 million), which consisted of bonds payable of NT$26,871.7 million (US$859.3 million) and long-term borrowings
of NT$43,941.2 million (US$1,405.2 million).
Cash Flows
Net cash generated from operating activities
was NT$36,712.1 million (US$1,174.0 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to net cash generated
from operating activities NT$34,303.8 million for the same period in 2015. This increase in cash inflow was primarily due to an
increase in cash inflow of NT$9,647.7 million (US$308.5 million) from a decrease of inventories but offset by an increase in cash
outflow of NT$6,791.5 million (US$217.2 million) from trade receivables.
Net cash used in investing activities was
NT$37,137.2 million (US$1,187.6 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to NT$57,691.9 million for
the same period in 2015. This decrease in cash outflow was primarily due to a decrease of NT$19,856.6 million (US$635.0 million)
in the acquisition of associates and joint ventures.
Net cash used in financing activities was
NT$11,839.8 million (US$378.6 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to net cash generated in financing
activities of NT$12,187.3 million for the same period in 2015. This change in cash flow was primarily due to a decrease in cash
inflow of NT$20,356.2 million (US$651.0 million) from the net borrowings of debt, including short-term borrowings, short-term bills
payable, bonds payable and long-term borrowings and a decrease in cash inflow of NT$8,910.3 million (US$284.9 million) in the proceeds
from partial disposal of interests in subsidiaries but partially offset by a decrease in cash outflow of NT$5,333.4 million (US$170.6
million) in the payments for acquisition of treasury stock.
