instruments

|
(1)
|
Financial
assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or
loss: Financial instruments are classified into this category
if the purpose of acquisition is principally for selling or repurchasing
in the near term. Except for effective hedging derivative
financial instruments, all financial derivatives are included in this
category. Changes in fair values are charged to current
operations.
|
|
(2)
|
Available-for-sale
financial assets: These are measured at fair value, and any
changes, excluding impairment loss and unrealized foreign currency
exchange gain or loss, are reported as a separate component of
stockholders’ equity until realized. Realized gain or loss on
financial instruments is charged to current operations. If
there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is
recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period,
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the amount of impairment
loss decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss for equity
securities is reversed to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an
adjustment to equity, while for debt securities, the reversal is allowed
through profit or loss provided that the decrease is clearly attributable
to an event which occurs after the impairment loss is
recognized.
|
|
(3)
|
Financial
liabilities measured at amortized cost: Financial liabilities
not measured at fair value through profit or loss and not designated as
hedges are reported at amortized
cost.
|
|
(4)
|
Financial
assets carried at cost: Equity investments which cannot be
measured at fair value are recorded based on original cost. If
there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on
unquoted equity instruments that are carried at cost, the amount of the
impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount
of the financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash
flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar
financial asset.
|
|
(5)
|
Hedging-purpose
derivative financial instruments: These are derivative
instruments entered into to hedge exposure to interest rate risks and
effective as hedges.

Effective
January 1, 2008, employee bonuses and remuneration to directors are
estimated and charged to expense in accordance with Accounting Research
and Development Foundation (“ARDF”) Interpretation No. 2007-052, and
included in the cost of goods sold and operating expense, as
appropriate. The difference, if any, between the amount
approved by stockholders in the subsequent year and the amount estimated
in the current-year financial statements is accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate, and charged to profit or loss in the period during
which stockholders’ approval is obtained. No subsequent
adjustment to compensation expense is made if the employee stock bonuses
were to be settled through the issuance of stock. The number

Share-based
payment transactions
|
|
The
Company adopted ROC SFAS No. 39, “Share-based Payment,” for share-based
payment arrangements with grant date on or after January 1,
2008.
|
|
An
equity-settled share-based payment transaction is measured based on the
fair value of the award at the grant date, and recognized as expenses over
the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. The
vesting period is estimated based on the vesting conditions under the
share-based payment arrangement. Vesting conditions include
service conditions and performance conditions (including market
conditions). In estimating the fair value of an equity-settled
share-based award, only the effect of market conditions is taken into
consideration. A cash-settled share-based payment transaction
is measured at the balance sheet date and settlement date based on the
fair value of the award as of those dates and is recorded as a liability
incurred for the goods and services received. Changes in fair
values are charged to current operations. The fair value of
share-based award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model, taking into account the exercise price, current market price of the
underlying shares and management’s best estimate of the expected term,
expected volatility, expected dividends, and risk-free interest
rate.
|
|
For
all period presented, the Company did not have any share-based payment
arrangement within the scope of ROC SFAS No.
39.

Assessments

The
Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “EITL”),
as approved by related government authorities on March 16, 2007, is
effective from January 1, 2008. Prior to 2008 and the
promulgation of the EITL, income tax rates applicable to the Company’s
subsidiary companies located in Mainland China ranged from 0% to
33%. Beginning on January 1, 2008, income tax rates changed to
a range of 0% to 25%. The Company remeasured deferred tax
assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2007, in accordance with the
EITL, and concluded that the adoption of the EITL did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

(b)
|
The
following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of
the Company’s financial assets and
liabilities:
|
(1)
|
The
carrying
amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable/payable
(including related parties), other current financial assets, equipment and
construction-in-progress payables, and short-term borrowings approximates
their fair value due to the short-term nature of these
items.
|
(2)
|
The
fair
value of financial instruments other than financial assets carried at cost
is based on quoted market prices, if available, in active
markets. If market price is unavailable, fair value is
determined using a valuation technique, with estimates and assumptions
consistent with those made by market
participants.
|
(3)
|
It
is not practicable to estimate the fair value of financial assets carried
at cost, as these financial instruments are not traded in an active public
market.
|
(4)
|
The
fair value of floating-rate long-term borrowings is calculated based on
the prevailing market rate adjusted by the Company’s credit
spread. Management believes the carrying value of floating-rate
long-term borrowings approximates the fair
value.
|
(5)
|
The
fair value of fixed-rate long-term borrowings is estimated based on the
present value of future discounted cash flows based on prevailing market
interest rates for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities and
credit standing of the
borrower.
|
(c)
|
The
fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities determined
by publicly quoted market price, if available, or determined using a
valuation technique were as
