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” and related amendments
Recognition,
measurement and impairment of financial assets
With
regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for
the classification of financial assets is stated below:
For
the Group’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows:
|
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, investment in debt instruments measured at
FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written
loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a
financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime
expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition
and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not
constitute a financing transaction.
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
cost of derivative instruments are accounted for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness
assessment with the principle of economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.
Transition
Financial
instruments that have been derecognized prior to the effective date of IFRS 9 cannot be reversed to apply IFRS 9 when it becomes
effective. Under IFRS 9, the requirements for classification, measurement and impairment of financial assets are applied retrospectively
with the difference between the previous carrying amount and the carrying amount at the date of initial application recognized
in the current period and restatement of prior periods is not required. The
requirements
for general hedge accounting shall be applied prospectively and the accounting for hedging options shall be applied retrospectively.
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 related 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.
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 Group satisfies a performance obligation.
|
The
Group will adopt IFRS 15 and related amendments starting from January 1, 2018, including retrospective application to
all contracts that are not yet complete as of January 1, 2018, and anticipate to apply the modified retrospective
transition method. Under the modified retrospective transition method, the Group will recognize the cumulative effect
of applying IFRS 15 and related amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as at the date of
initial application. The comparative financial statements of prior periods will be retained as reported under the
previous standards.
Presented below is the status of the process we have utilized for the adoption of IFRS 15 and
related amendments and the significant implementation matters addressed:
|
—
|
The Group established a global cross-functional project management implementation team to assess all potential
impacts of this standard.
|
|
—
|
The Group is reviewing current accounting policies and
practices in each reporting segment to identify potential differences that would result from the application of this
standard.
|
|
—
|
Customers and contracts were identified.
|
|
—
|
Evaluation of the contract provisions and the comparison of
historical accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard is in process, including the related
qualitative
disclosures regarding the potential impact of the effects of the accounting policies we expect to apply and a comparison to
our current revenue recognition policies. We expect to complete this process prior to December 31, 2017.
|
While the evaluation of the impact is still in process,
based on our preliminary evaluation, IFRS 15 and related amendments may result in a change to the timing of revenue recognition;
however, such change is not expected to have a material quantitative impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
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.

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, 2016.
Investment
properties are properties held to earn rentals (including property under construction for such purposes).
Investment
properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties
are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line
method.
Investment
properties under construction are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Cost includes
professional fees and, borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Depreciation of these assets commences when the assets are
ready for their intended use.
On
derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset
is included in profit or loss.
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$30.33 to US$1.00 as of September 30, 2017. The translation should
not be construed as a representation that the NT$ 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.
|
5.
|
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
|
The
same critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty of the 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, 2016.

Cash
equivalents include time deposits that are of a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisitions, and are
highly liquid, readily convertible 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, 2016 and September 30, 2017, except that the Group’s five largest customers accounted for 30% and 34% of
accounts receivable, respectively, the concentration of credit risk is insignificant for the remaining accounts receivable.

Except
for those impaired, 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.

identifiable assets and liabilities in the second quarter and the third quarter in 2017.
Therefore, the Group has retrospectively adjusted the comparative consolidated financial
statements for prior periods. As of December 31, 2016, the retrospective adjustments

Investments
in joint ventures
|
|
1)
|
The
joint venture that was not individually material and accounted for using the equity method
was the Group’s investment in ASE Embedded Electronics Inc. (“ASEEE”).
In May 2015, the Group and TDK Corporation (“TDK”) entered into an agreement
to establish a joint venture to invest in ASEEE. The Group additionally participated
in ASEEE’s cash capital increase with NT$146,903 thousand in September 2016. As
of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, the percentages of ownership were both 51%.
ASEEE are located in ROC and engages in the production of embedded substrate. According
to the joint arrangement, the Group and TDK must act together to direct the relevant
operating activities and, as a result, the Group does not control ASEEE. The investment
in ASEEE is accounted for using the equity method.

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 does not qualify for the production needs and therefore recognized
an impairment loss of NT$886,846 thousand and NT$285,466 thousand (US$9,412 thousand) under the line item of other operating income
and expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and
2017, respectively. The recoverable amount of the impaired property, plant and equipment is determined on the basis of its value
in use and 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:
Buildings and improvements
|
|
|
|
|
Main plant buildings
|
|
|
10-40 years
|
|
Cleanrooms
|
|
|
10-20 years
|
|
Others
|
|
|
3-20 years
|
|
Machinery and equipment
|
|
|
2-10 years
|
|
Other equipment
|
|
|
2-20 years
|
|
The
capitalized borrowing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively, are disclosed in Note 24.

|
Such
capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no
deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to
share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus
and once a year).
|
|
2)
|
Such
capital surplus arises from the effect of changes in ownership interest in a subsidiary
resulted from equity transactions other than actual disposal or acquisition, or from
changes in capital surplus of subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method.
|
|
3)
|
Such
capital surplus arises from the excess of related carrying amount of related accounts
over the par value and the Company has not completed registration formalities when the
convertible bonds were converted into ordinary shares and employee share options were
exercised.

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 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 24(h).
The
amended Articles of Incorporation of ASE Inc. (the “Articles”) in June 2016 provides that annual net profit 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 to or reverse a special reserve.
Expect

share of the income tax paid by the Company.

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.

For
purposes of the ADS calculation, the denominator represents the above-mentioned weighted average outstanding shares divided by
five (one ADS represents five ordinary shares). The numerator was the same.
The
Group is able to settle the employees’ compensation by cash or shares. The Group assumed 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.
The
third unsecured convertible overseas bonds issued by the Company were anti-dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2017
and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the same period.

As
of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, the remaining contractual life of the share options was 8.9 years and 8.2 years,
respectively.
Employee
benefit expense recognized for employee share options granted by the Company and its subsidiary, USISH, was NT$353,676 thousand
and NT$313,659 thousand (US$10,342 thousand) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
|
b.
|
New
shares reserved for subscription by employees under cash capital increase
|
In
December 2016, the board of directors approved the cash capital increase and, as required under the Company Act of the ROC, simultaneously
granted options to employees to purchase 10% of such newly issued shares. The grant of the options was accounted for as employee
options, accordingly a share-based compensation, and was measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 2. The Group recognized
employee benefits expense and capital surplus arising from exercised employee share options of NT$84,000 thousand (US$2,769 thousand)
in full at the grant date (also the vested date), of which 4,836 thousand shares has not been exercised and, therefore, $13,541
thousand (US$446 thousand) was reclassified from capital surplus arising from exercised employee share options to capital surplus
arising from expired employee share options.
Information
about the Company’s employee share options related to the aforementioned newly issued shares was as follows:

The

The
goodwill recognized mainly represents the control premium. In addition, the consideration paid for the acquisition effectively
included amounts attributed to the benefits of expected revenue growth and future market development of TLJ. These benefits are
not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

EQUITY
TRANSACTION WITH NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
|
In
February 2016, USIE repurchased its own 4,501 thousand outstanding ordinary shares and, as a result, the Group’s shareholdings
of USIE increased from 96.7% to 98.8%. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction since the Group did not cease
to have control over USIE and therefore, capital surplus was decreased by NT$1,912,887 thousand.
In
February 2016, the Company disposed 39,603 thousand shares in USI to the Company’s subsidiary, UGTW, at NT$20 per share
with a total consideration of NT$792,064 thousand, as a result, the Group’s shareholdings of USI decreased from 99.0% to
76.5%. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction since the Group did not cease to have control over USI and therefore,
capital surplus was decreased by NT$20,552 thousand.
In
January 2017, USI completed its cash capital increase of NT$1,000,000 thousand (US$32,971 thousand) and the Group’s shareholdings
of USI increased from 75.2% to 75.7% since the Group did not proportional subscribe for additional new shares. The transaction
was accounted for as an equity transaction since the Group did not cease to have control over USI and therefore, capital surplus
was increased by NT$3,055 thousand (US$101 thousand).

OPERATING
LEASE ARRANGEMENTS
|
Except
those discussed in Note 18, 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 January 2037. 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 China, U.S.A. and Japan, etc. are leased from third parties and the lease term will expire
through 2017 to 2023 with the option to renew the leases upon expiration.
The
Group recognized rental expense of NT$1,073,013 thousand and NT$910,084 thousand (US$30,006 thousand) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively, from the aforementioned operating lease arrangements and the land use rights disclosed
in Note 18.

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 19.

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 38.
The
Group was principally subject to the impact to exchange rate fluctuation in US$ and JPY against NT$ or 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$218,000 thousand and NT$112,000 thousand (US$3,693
thousand) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. Hedging contracts and hedged items have been taken
into account while measuring the changes in profit before income tax. The aforementioned sensitivity analysis mainly focused on
the foreign currency monetary items at each balance sheet date. As the period-end exposure did not reflect the exposure for the
nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, the aforementioned 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, 2016 and 2017 would have decreased
or increased approximately by NT$320,000 thousand and NT$197,000 thousand (US$6,495 thousand), respectively. Hedging contracts
and hedged items have been taken into account while measuring the changes in profit before income tax. The aforementioned sensitivity
analysis mainly focused on the interest rate items at the each balance
sheet
date. As the period-end exposure did not reflect the exposure for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, the aforementioned
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, and open-end mutual funds, as well as 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, 2016 and 2017 would have increased
or decreased approximately by NT$7,200 thousand and NT$30,000 thousand (US$989 thousand), respectively, and other comprehensive
income before income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017 would have increased or decreased approximately
by NT$12,000 thousand (US$396 thousand).
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, 2016 would have decreased approximately by NT$644,000 thousand, or increased approximately by NT$528,000 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 were to 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 was determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by the yield curves at each balance
sheet date.

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. On June 8, 2017, the Supreme Administrative
Court handed down a final and unappealable judgment which is in favor of the Company
and ordered KEPB to return to the Company the fine already paid by the Company.

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 in cash
per SPIL's ordinary share, which has been adjusted to NT$51.2 after SPIL’s appropriation
of earnings in 2016. The estimated cash consideration paid per SPIL’s ordinary
share shall not be subject to adjustment if the aggregate amount of the cash dividends
distributed by SPIL in 2017 is less than 85% of SPIL’s net profit for the year
ended December 31, 2016.
|
According
to the share exchange agreement, the completion of share exchange transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all
conditions precedent. Unless the Company and SPIL entering into 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. On November 24, 2017, the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China announced that it has conditionally
approved the proposed transaction. On December 14, 2017, the Company and SPIL entered into an addendum to the aforementioned
joint share exchange agreement to amend the definition of Long Stop Date as of October 31, 2018 or a later date. As of the
date the condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the management, the unsatisfied conditions
include the unconditional approvals of the Company and SPIL's shareholders’ meeting and, therefore, the share exchange
transaction has not been completed.
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. As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding
balance of the Bonds has been fully converted or redeemed.
|
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.

Results of Operations
Operating Revenues
Our operating revenues for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2017 were NT$206,455.1 million (US$6,806.9 million), which represented a 4.4% increase from NT$197,755.5
million for the same period in 2016. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, net revenue generated from our electronic
manufacturing services business, packaging business and testing business represented approximately 43.9%, 45.1% and 9.5% of our
total net revenue, respectively.
Packaging revenues increased 1.7% to
NT$93,180.4 million (US$3,072.2 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from NT$91,662.4 million for the
same period ended September 30, 2016. The increase in our packaging revenues was primarily due to the increase in sales of
our bumping and wafer-level packaging products. Testing revenues decreased 0.6% to NT$19,603.5 million (US$646.3 million) for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from NT$19,728.9 million for the same period ended September 30, 2016.
Revenues from our electronic manufacturing services business increased 12.3% to NT$90,663.1 million (US$2,989.2 million) for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from NT$80,768.5 million for the same period in 2016. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in outsourced orders for consumer products and communications products.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit was NT$37,938.5 million
(US$1,250.8 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to NT$37,812.7 million (retrospectively adjusted)
for the same period in 2016. We had a gross margin of 18.4% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to a gross
margin of 19.1% for the same period in 2016. This decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a raise in our electronic manufacturing
services business, which had a lower gross margin.
Operating costs increased 5.4% to NT$168,516.6
million (US$5,556.1 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from NT$159,942.8 million (retrospectively adjusted)
for the same period in 2016. Raw material costs increased 10.7% to NT$98,158.9 million (US$3,236.4 million) for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2017 from NT$88,633.1 million for the same period in 2016. As a percentage of operating revenues, raw
material costs increased to 47.5% from 44.8%, primarily as a result of an increase in orders in our electronic manufacturing services
business, which had relatively higher raw material costs compared to our other businesses. Labor costs increased 2.2% to NT$26,837.9
million (US$884.9 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from NT$26,264.5 million for the same period in 2016.
As a percentage of operating revenues, labor costs decreased to 13.0% from 13.3%, which was due to the growth of our operating
revenues. Depreciation, amortization and rental expenses decreased 2.0% to NT$20,683.1 million (US$681.9 million) for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2017 from NT$21,106.9 million (retrospectively adjusted) for the same period in 2016. As a percentage
of operating revenues, depreciation, amortization and rental expenses decreased to 10.0% from 10.7%, which was due to a raise in
our operating revenues.
Profit from Operations
We had profit from operations of NT$17,786.2
million (US$586.4 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, which represented a decrease from NT$17,825.8 million
(retrospectively adjusted), for the same period in 2016. Our operating margin was 8.6% for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2017 compared to 9.0% for the same period in 2016. The decrease of operating margin was primarily due to a decrease in gross
margin.
Operating expenses increased 5.9% to NT$20,426.6
million (US$673.4 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from NT$19,282.6 million (retrospectively adjusted)
for the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses and research
and development expenses.
Selling expenses decreased 6.7% to NT$2,434.6
million (US$80.2 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from NT$2,610.4 million (retrospectively adjusted)
for the same period in 2016, primarily due to a decrease in amortization expenses in connection with intangible assets fully amortized.
Selling expenses as a percentage of our operating revenues decreased to 1.2% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017
from 1.3% for the same period in 2016.
General and administrative expenses increased
11.0% to NT$9,290.9 million (US$306.3 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from NT$8,371.7 million for the
same period in 2016, primarily due to an increase in salary expenses and an increase in professional fee. General and administrative
expenses as a percentage of our operating revenues increased to 4.5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from 4.2%
for the same period in 2016.
Research and development expenses increased
4.8% to NT$8,701.1 million (US$286.9 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from NT$8,300.5 million for the
same period in 2016, primarily due to an increase in salary expenses. Research and development expenses as a percentage of our
operating revenues remained at 4.2% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
We had a net other operating income of
NT$274.3 million (US$9.0 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to a net other operating expense
of NT$704.3 million for the same period in 2016.
Net Non-Operating Incomes and Expenses
Net non-operating income and expenses increased
to a net income of NT$5,401.3 million (US$178.1 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from a net income of
NT$575.5 million (retrospectively adjusted) for the same
period in 2016. This was primarily due to a gain of NT$5,643.8 million (US$186.1 million) from the disposal of subsidiary.
Income Tax Expense
We recognized an income tax expense of
NT$4,638.0 million (US$152.9 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to an income tax expense of NT$3,230
million for the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the profit before income tax and Income tax
on unappropriated earnings.
Net Profit
As a result of the foregoing, we incurred
a net profit of NT$18,549.5 million (US$611.6 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, which represented an
increase from NT$15,171.3 million (retrospectively adjusted) for the same period in 2016. Our diluted earnings per ADS decreased
to NT$9.88 (US$0.33) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to diluted earnings per ADS of NT$7.88 for the
same period in 2016.
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, 2017 were NT$38,975.1 million (US$1,285.0 million), which represented a 1.5% increase compared to NT$38,392.5 million as of
December 31, 2016. Our total borrowings as of September 30, 2017 were NT$82,120.8 million (US$2,707.6 million). Excluding short-term
borrowings of NT$19,638.4 million (US$647.5 million), current portion of bonds payable of NT$6,136.9 million (US$202.3 million)
and current portion of long-term borrowings of NT$6,840.0 million (US$225.5 million), our long-term borrowing as of September 30,
2017 were NT$49,505.5 million (US$1,632.2 million), which consisted of bonds payable of NT$16,980.5 million (US$559.8 million)
and long-term borrowings of NT$32,525.0 million (US$1,072.4 million).
Cash Flows
Net cash generated from operating activities
was NT$33,269.0 million (US$1,096.9 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to net cash generated
from operating activities NT$36,712.1 million for the same period in 2016. This decrease in cash inflow was primarily due to a
decrease in dividend received of NT$2,120.5 million ( US$69.9 million), an increase in cash outflow of NT$7,050.9 million (US$232.5
million) from an increase of inventories but offset by a decrease in cash outflow of NT$6,331.8 million (US$208.8 million) from
trade receivables.
Net cash used in investing activities was
NT$14,480.2 million (US$477.4 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to NT$37,137.2 million for the
same period in 2016. This decrease in cash outflow was primarily
due to a decrease of NT$15,816.5 million in the acquisition of associates and joint ventures.
Net cash used in financing activities was
NT$14,748.1 million (US$486.3 million) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to NT$11,839.8 million for the
same period in 2016. This change in cash flow was primarily due to a decrease in cash inflow of NT$19,742.6 million (US$650.9 million)
from the net proceeds from and repayment of long-term borrowings, an increase in cash inflow of NT$10,290.0 million (US$339.3 million)
from the proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares and a decrease in cash outflow of NT$2,815.8 million (US$92.8 million) from
non-controlling interests.
