Chunghwa Telecom Reports Operating Results for

the Third Quarter of 2010

Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. October 27, 2010 - Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (TAIEX: 2412; NYSE: CHT) (“Chunghwa” or “the Company”), today reported its operating results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010. All figures are presented on a consolidated basis and were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the Republic of China (“ROC GAAP”).

Dr. Shyue-Ching Lu, Chairman of Chunghwa Telecom, said, “I’m pleased to report a 1.6% year-over-year rise in revenue during the third quarter of 2010, driven by the continuing economic recovery and the success of our marketing initiatives. The solid revenue mix from our core business was boosted by an increase in mobile value-added services, Internet services and broadband access revenues. Our prudent cost management initiatives resulted in stable operating income, with net income growing 9.5% year-over-year due to the tax rate reduction from 25% to 17%. Looking ahead, we expect to be able to report satisfactory performance for the full year 2010, with fourth quarter revenue projected to be NT$46.80 billion.”

(Comparisons, unless otherwise stated, are to the prior year period)

Revenue

Chunghwa’s total consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2010 increased by 1.6% year-over-year to NT$50.9 billion, of which 34.5% was from its domestic fixed business, 43.8% was from its mobile business, 12.6% was from its Internet business, 7.9% was from its international fixed business and the remainder was from other business segments. The primary reasons for the year-over-year increase were the economic recovery and the Company’s marketing initiatives.

Domestic fixed line business revenue totaled NT$17.5 billion, representing a decrease of 1.1% year-over-year. Local revenues decreased by 2.1% year-over-year to NT$8.1 billion, mainly due to mobile and Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) substitution. The 17.1% decline in domestic long-distance revenues to NT$1.7 billion was also due to mobile and VOIP substitution, and the mandated tariff reduction.

Broadband access revenue, including Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (“ADSL”) and Fiber to the x (“FTTx”), increased by 3.0% year-over-year to NT$5.1 billion. Although ADSL access revenue decreased as more ADSL subscribers migrated to fiber solutions, the decrease was fully offset by growth in FTTx access revenue. Chunghwa believes that this migration will continue as customers continue to migrate to FTTx services, and that broadband revenue will therefore increase over time.

Mobile revenue increased by 1.0% year-over-year to NT$22.3 billion, mainly due to growth in mobile VAS revenue relating to the Company’s smartphone promotion and handset sales.

Internet revenue increased by 10.2% to NT$6.4 billion, mainly attributable to Internet services growth, which was driven by the increase in broadband subscribers and the migration of ADSL subscribers to fiber solutions.

International fixed-line revenue decreased by 1.9% to NT$4.0 billion, mainly due to VOIP substitution and market competition that was partially offset by growth in leased line revenue.

Finally, other revenue increased by 70.6% to NT$0.6 billion in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009, primarily due to the consolidation of subsidiaries.

For the first nine months of 2010, total revenue was NT$150.1 billion, a 2.0% increase from the same period last year, with the domestic fixed business accounting for 34.7%, the mobile business contributing 44.4%, the Internet business 12.2%, the international fixed business 7.8%, and the remainder from others.

Costs and Expenses

Total operating costs and expenses for the third quarter of 2010 were NT$36.4 billion, an increase of 1.5% year-over-year, mainly due to the increased cost of corporate Information and Communications Technology (“ICT”) services and corporate solutions, and the performance-based bonus accrual relating to net income growth.

Total operating costs and expenses for the first nine months of 2010 increased 1.8% year-over-year to NT$105.9 billion, due to the increased performance-based bonus accrual and cost of sales.

Income Tax

Income tax expenses for the third quarter of 2010 were NT$2.3 billion, representing a 27% decrease compared to the same period of 2009. This decrease resulted from the government’s income tax rate reduction from 25% to 17% this year.

EBITDA/Operating income/Net Income

Operating income for the third quarter of 2010 increased by 1.8% year-over-year to NT$14.4 billion. EBITDA decreased by 1.2% to NT$22.9 billion, primarily as a result of the mandated National Communications Commission (“NCC”) tariff reduction and changing cost structure. The Company’s EBITDA margin and operating income margin for the third quarter of 2010 were 45.0% and 28.4%, respectively, compared to 46.3% and 28.3%, respectively, for the same period of 2009.

Net income for the third quarter of 2010 increased by 9.5% year-over-year to NT$12.0 billion, primarily due to the revenue growth and lower income tax rate.

For the first nine months of 2010, operating income amounted to NT$44.2 billion, a rise of 2.3% year-over-year. EBITDA decreased by 0.9% to NT$69.9 billion. Net income reached NT$36.9 billion, a 11.3% increase, mainly due to the revenue growth and income tax rate reduction.

Capital Expenditure (“Capex”)

Total capex for the third quarter of 2010 amounted to NT$6.2 billion, representing a decrease of 1.4% year-over-year. Of the NT$6.2 billion in capex, 55.4% was spent on the domestic fixed communications business, 27.4% on the mobile communications business, 7.4% on the Internet business, 7.0% on the international fixed communications business and the remainder was used for other purposes.

Cash Flow

Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter of 2010 was NT$19.5 billion, a 28.1% increase compared to the same period of 2009.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents had increased 20.9% year-over year to NT$67.4 billion.

Independent Accountants’ Review Report


 

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review.

Except for the matters described in the next paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements,” issued by the Auditing Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, we did not review all financial statements of equity-accounted investments, the investments in which are reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The aggregate carrying values of the equity method investees were NT$9,454,916 thousand and NT$8,942,371 thousand as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and the equity in earnings (losses) were NT$281,448 thousand and NT$(7,358) thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Based on our reviews, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we reviewed financial statements of certain equity method investees referred to in the preceding paragraph, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Securities and Exchange Act, the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company early adopted the new Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 41, “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) beginning from September 1, 2009.

We have also reviewed the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and have issued a qualified review report.

1. GENERAL

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (“Chunghwa”) was incorporated on July 1, 1996 in the Republic of China (“ROC”) pursuant to the Article 30 of the Telecommunications Act. Chunghwa is a company limited by shares and, prior to August 2000, was wholly owned by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (“MOTC”). Prior to July 1, 1996, the current operations of Chunghwa were carried out under the Directorate General of Telecommunications (“DGT”). The DGT was established by the MOTC in June 1943 to take primary responsibility in the development of telecommunications infrastructure and to formulate policies related to telecommunications. On July 1, 1996, the telecom operations of the DGT were spun-off to as Chunghwa which continues to carry out the business and the DGT continues to be the industry regulator.

As the dominate telecommunications service provider of fixed-line and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) in the ROC, Chunghwa is subject to additional regulations imposed by ROC.

Effective August 12, 2005, the MOTC had completed the process of privatizing Chunghwa by reducing the government ownership to below 50% in various stages. In July 2000, Chunghwa received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (the “SFC”) for a domestic initial public offering and its common shares were listed and traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (the “TSE”) on October 27, 2000. Certain of Chunghwa’s common shares had been sold, in connection with the foregoing privatization plan, in domestic public offerings at various dates from August 2000 to July 2003. Certain of Chunghwa’s common shares had also been sold in an international offering of securities in the form of American Depository Shares (“ADS”) on July 17, 2003 and were listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The MOTC sold common shares of Chunghwa by auction in the ROC on August 9, 2005 and completed the second international offering on August 10, 2005. Upon completion of the share transfers associated with these offerings on August 12, 2005, the MOTC owned less than 50% of the outstanding shares of Chunghwa and completed the privatization plan.

As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had 24,398 and 24,434 employees, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements were prepared in conformity with the Securities and Exchange Act, the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC (“ROC GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make reasonable estimates and assumptions on allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation allowances on inventories, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, impairment of assets, bonuses paid to employees, remuneration to board of directors and supervisors, pension plans and income tax, etc. These estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and actual results may differ significantly. The significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets are assets expected to be converted to cash, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations expected to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are commercial paper and treasury bills purchased with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) include financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading and are designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition. The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial asset is derecognized when the Company losses control of its contractual rights over the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

Financial instruments at FVTPL are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized as expenses as incurred. Financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are remeasured at fair value, subsequently with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Cash dividends received subsequently (including those received in the period of investment) are recognized as income. On derecognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable or consideration paid and payable is recognized in earnings. Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are classified as financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading. When the fair value is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized are fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Changes in fair value from subsequent remeasurement are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The corresponding accumulated gains or losses are recognized in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

The recognition and derecognition of available-for-sale financial assets are similar to those of financial assets at FVTPL.

Fair values are determined as follows: Listed stocks - at closing prices at the balance sheet date; open-end mutual funds - at net asset values at the balance sheet date; bonds - quoted at prices provided by the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market; and financial assets and financial liabilities without quoted prices in an active market - at values determined using valuation techniques.

Cash dividends are recognized in earnings on the ex-dividend date, except for the dividends declared before acquisitions are treated as a reduction of investment cost. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares and do not affect investment income. The total number of shares subsequent to the increase of stock dividends is used for recalculate cost per share.

An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, for equity securities, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent to the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity; for debt securities, the amount of the decrease is recognized in earnings, provided that the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized.

Held-to-maturity Financial Assets

Held-to-maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Those financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Gains and losses are recognized at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortization. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease. The reversal may not result in a carrying amount that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Revenue Recognition, Account Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

Revenues are recognized when they are realized or realizable and earned. Revenues are realized or realizable and earned when the Company has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the goods have been delivered or the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts agreed between the Company and the customers for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of sales discounts and volume rebates. For trade receivables due within one year from the balance sheet date, as the nominal value of the consideration to be received approximates its fair value and transactions are frequent, fair value of the consideration is not determined by discounting all future receipts using an imputed rate of interest.

Usage revenues from fixed-line services (including local, domestic long distance and international long distance), cellular services, Internet and data services, and interconnection and call transfer fees from other telecommunications companies and carriers are billed in arrears and are recognized based upon minutes of traffic processed when the services are provided in accordance with contract terms.

The costs of providing services are recognized as incurred. Incentives to third party dealers for inducing business which are payable when the end user enters into an airtime contract are recognized in marketing expenses as incurred.

Other revenues are recognized as follows: (a) one-time subscriber connection fees (on fixed-line services) are deferred and recognized over the average expected customer service periods, (b) monthly fees (on fixed-line services, wireless and Internet and data services) are accrued every month, and (c) prepaid services (fixed-line, cellular and Internet) are recognized as income based upon actual usage by customers or when the right to use those services expires.

Where the Company enters into transactions which involve both the provision of air time bundled with products such as 3G data card and handset, total consideration received from handsets in these arrangements is allocated and measured using units of accounting within the arrangement based on relative fair values limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of other items or services.

Where the Company sells products to third party cellular phone stores the Company records the direct sale of the products, typically handsets, as gross revenue when the Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement and when title is passed and the products are accepted by the stores.

An allowance for doubtful receivables is provided based on a review of the collectibility of accounts receivable. The Company determines the amount of allowance for doubtful receivables by examining the aging analysis of outstanding accounts receivable.

Inventories

Inventories including merchandise and work-in-process are stated at the lower of cost (weighted-average cost) or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Investments Accounted for using Equity Method

Investments in companies in which the Company exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for by the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially stated at cost and subsequently adjusted for its proportionate share in the net earnings of the investee companies. Any cash dividends received are recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the investments.

Gains or losses on sales from the Company to equity method investees wherein the Company exercises significant influence over these equity investees are deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage in the investees until such gains or losses are realized through transactions with third parties. Gains or losses on sales from equity method investees to Chunghwa are deferred in proportion to the Chunghwa’s ownership percentages in the investees until they are realized through transactions with third parties.

When the Company subscribes for additional investees shares at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment in the investee differs from the amount of the Company share of the investee’s equity. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to long-term investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to additional paid-in capital to the extent available, with the balance charged to retained earnings.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted price in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably measured such as non-publicly traded stocks are measured at their original cost. If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost plus a revaluation increment, if any, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. The interest costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as property, plant and equipment. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

When an indication of impairment is identified, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

An impairment loss on a revalued asset is charged to “unrealized revaluation increment” under equity to the extent available, with the balance is recognized as a loss in earnings. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment loss could be reversed and recognized as a gain, with the remaining credited to “unrealized revaluation increment”.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives: land improvements - 10 to 30 years; buildings - 10 to 60 years; computer equipment - 6 to 10 years; telecommunications equipment - 6 to 15 years; transportation equipment - 5 to 10 years; and miscellaneous equipment - 3 to 12 years.

Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, the related cost, accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses and any unrealized revaluation increment are deducted from the corresponding accounts, and any gain or loss recorded is recorded as non-operating gains or losses in the period of sale or disposal.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets mainly include 3G Concession, computer software and patents.

The 3G concession is valid through December 31, 2018. The 3G Concession fee is amortized on a straight-line basis from the date operations commence through the date the license expires. Computer software costs and patents are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3 to 20 years.

The Company adopted the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 37, “Intangible Assets.” Expenditure on research shall be expensed as incurred. Development costs are capitalized when those costs meet relative criteria and are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Development costs that do not meet relative criteria shall be expensed as incurred.

When an indication of impairment is identified, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Idle Assets

Idle assets are carried at the lower of recoverable amount or carrying amount.

Pension Costs

For defined benefit pension plans, net periodic pension benefit cost is recorded in the statement of income and includes service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service costs, amortization of pension gains (losses) and curtailment or settlement gains (losses).

The Company recognizes into income, any unrecognized actuarial net gains or losses that exceed 10% of the larger of projected benefit obligations or plan assets, defined as the “corridor”. Amounts inside this 10% corridor are amortized over the average remaining service life of active plan participants. Actuarial net gains and losses occur when actual experience differs from any of the many assumptions used to value the plans. Differences between the expected and actual returns on plan assets and changes in interest rate, which affect the discount rate used to value projected plan obligations, can have a significant impact on the calculation of pension net gains and losses from year to year.

The curtailments and settlement gains (losses) resulted from Chunghwa’s early retirement programs. Curtailment/settlement gains or losses are equal to the changes of underfunded status plus the a pro rata portion of the unrecognized prior service cost, unrecognized net gains (losses), and unrecognized transition obligations/assets, before the settlement/curtailment event multiplied by the percentage reduction in projected benefit obligation.

The projected benefit obligation represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement based on estimated future compensation levels.

The carrying amount of accrued pension liability should be the sum of the following amounts when the calculation is positive: (a) projected benefit obligation as of balance sheet date, (b) minus (plus) unamortized actuarial loss (gain), (c) minus unamortized prior service cost, and (d) minus the fair value of plan assets. If the amount determined by above calculation is negative, it is viewed as prepaid pension cost. The prepaid pension cost is measured at the lower of: (a) the amount determined above, and (b) the sum of the following amounts: (i) unamortized actuarial loss, (ii) unamortized prior service cost, and (iii) the present value of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

The measurement of benefit obligations and net periodic cost (income) is based on estimates and assumptions approved by the company’s management such as compensation, age and seniority, as well as certain assumptions, including estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets and rate of compensation increases.

For employees under defined contribution pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on the actual contributions made to employees’ individual pension accounts during their service periods.

Expense Recognition

The costs of providing services are recognized as incurred. The cost includes incentives to third party dealers for inducing business which are payable when the end user enters into an airtime contract.

Income Tax

The Company applies inter-period allocations for its income tax, whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences and unused tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled.

Any tax credits arising from purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, personnel training, and investments in important technology-based enterprises are recognized using the flow-through method.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

Income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings is recorded in the year of stockholders approval which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

Foreign-currency Transactions

Foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains or losses derived from foreign-currency transactions or monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in earnings. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at prevailing exchange rates with the resulting gains or losses recognized in earnings.

The financial statements of foreign equity investees are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates. Assets and liabilities - spot rates at period end; stockholders’ equity - historical rates, income and expenses - average rates during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Hedge Accounting

A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting only if, all of the following conditions are met: (a) at the inception of the hedge, there is formal documentation of the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge; (b) the hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk, consistently with the risk management strategy documented for that particular hedging relationship; (c) the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured; (d) the hedge is assessed on an ongoing basis and determined actually to have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which the hedge was designated.

The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value and the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings.

3. EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

The Company early adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 41 “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) starting from September 1, 2009. This Statement supersedes the Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 20 “Segment Reporting”.

The Company adopted the newly-revised Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 10, “Accounting for Inventories,” (“SFAS No. 10”) beginning from January 1, 2009, which requires inventories to be stated at the lower of cost (weighted-average cost) or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. The inventory-related incomes and expenses shall be classified in operating cost.

Chunghwa entered into currency swap contracts to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk and variability in operating results due to fluctuations in exchange rates and stock prices. However, these derivatives did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and were classified as financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading.

Under Chunghwa’s Articles of Incorporation, Chunghwa’s authorized capital is $120,000,000,000 which is divided into 12,000,000,000 common shares (at $10 par value per share), among which 9,696,808,181 shares are issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2010.

On March 28, 2006, the board of directors approved the issuance of the 2 preferred shares, and the MOTC purchased the 2 preferred shares at par value on April 4, 2006. In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation of Chunghwa, the preferred shares would be redeemed by Chunghwa three years from the date of issuance at their par value. These preferred shares expired on April 4, 2009 and were redeemed on April 4, 2009.

For the purpose of privatizing Chunghwa, the MOTC sold 1,109,750 thousand common shares of Chunghwa in an international offering of securities in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) amounting to 110,975 thousand units (one ADS represents ten common shares) on the New York Stock Exchange on July 17, 2003. Afterwards, the MOTC sold 1,350,682 thousand common shares in the form of ADS amounting to 135,068 thousand units on August 10, 2005.

The ADS holders generally have the same rights and obligations as other common stockholders, subject to the provision of relevant laws. The exercise of such rights and obligations shall comply with the related regulations and deposit agreement, which stipulate, among other things, that ADS holders can, through deposit agents:

 

a. Exercise their voting rights,

 

b. Sell their ADSs, and

 

c. Receive dividends declared and subscribe to the issuance of new shares.

Under the ROC Company Law, additional paid-in capital may only be utilized to offset deficits. For those companies having no deficits, additional paid-in capital arising from capital surplus can be used to increase capital stock and distribute to stockholders in proportion to their ownership at the ex-dividend date. Also, such amounts can only be declared as a stock dividend by Chunghwa at an amount calculated in accordance with the provisions of existing regulations. The combined amount of any portions capitalized each year may not exceed 10 percent of common stock issued. However, where a company undergoes an organizational change (such as a merger, acquisition, or reorganization) that results in the capitalization of undistributed earnings after the organizational change, the above restriction does not apply.

In addition, before distributing a dividend or making any other distribution to stockholders, Chunghwa must pay all outstanding taxes, recover any past losses and set aside a legal reserve equal to 10% of its net income, and depending on its business needs or requirements, may also set aside a special reserve. In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, no less than 50% of the remaining earnings comprising remaining balance of net income, if any, plus cumulative undistributed earnings shall be distributed in the following order: (a) from 2% to 5% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to employees as employee bonus; (b) no more than 0.2% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to board of directors and supervisors as remuneration; and (c) cash dividends to be distributed shall not be less than 50% of the total amount of dividends to be distributed. If cash dividends to be distributed is less than NT$0.10 per share, such cash dividend shall be distributed in the form of common shares.

Chunghwa operates in a capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry and requires capital expenditures to sustain its competitive position in high-growth market. Thus, Chunghwa’s dividend policy takes into account future capital expenditure outlays. In this regard, a portion of the earnings may be retained to finance these capital expenditures. The remaining earnings can then be distributed as dividends if approved by the stockholders in the following year and will be recorded in the financial statements of that year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the accrual amounts for bonuses to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors is based on management estimates including past experience and probable amount to be paid in accordance with Chunghwa’s Articles of Incorporation and Implementation Guidance for the Employee’s Bonus Distribution of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

If the initial accrual amounts of the aforementioned bonus are significantly different from the amounts proposed by the board of directors, the difference is charged to the earnings of the year making the initial estimate. Otherwise, the difference between initial accrual amounts and the amounts resoluted in the shareholders’ meeting is charged to the earnings of the following year as a result of change of accounting estimate.

Under the ROC Company Law, the appropriation for legal reserve shall be made until the accumulated reserve equals the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of Chunghwa. This reserve can only be used to offset a deficit, or when reaching 50% of the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of Chunghwa, up to 50% of the reserve may, at the option of Chunghwa, be declared as a stock dividend and transferred to capital.

In May 2010, the Legislative Yuan passed the amendment of Article 5 of the Income Tax Law, which reduces the income tax rate of profit-seeking enterprises from 20% to 17%, effective January 1, 2010. After the Legislative Yuan passed the amendment of Article 5 of the Income Tax Law, the Company recalculated its deferred income tax assets and liabilities in accordance with the amended Article and recorded the resulting difference as an income tax expense or benefit.

Under Article 10 of the Statute for Industrial Innovation (SII) passed by the Legislative Yuan in April 2010, a profit-seeking enterprise may deduct up to 15% of its research and development expenditures from its income tax payable for the fiscal year in which these expenditures are incurred, but this deduction should not exceed 30% of the income tax payable for that fiscal year. This incentive took effect from January 1, 2010 and is effective till December 31, 2019.

In March 2007, the ARDF issued an Interpretation 96-052 that requires companies to recognize bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as an expense rather than an appropriation of earnings beginning from January 1, 2008. According to the Interpretation 97-169 issued by ARDF in May 2008, Chunghwa presumed that the employees bonuses to be paid will be settled in shares and takes those shares into consideration when calculating the weighted average number of outstanding shares used in the calculation of diluted EPS if the shares have a dilutive effect for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The number of shares is calculated by dividing the amount of bonuses by the closing price of the Chunghwa’s shares of the balance sheet date. The dilutive effect of the shares needs to be considered until the stockholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees in their meeting in the following year.

The diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was due to the effect of potential common stock of stock options by SENAO.

Chunghwa has entered into a contract with ST-2 Satellite Ventures Pte., Ltd. on March 12, 2010 to lease capacity on the ST-2 satellite. This lease term is 15 years and the total contract value is approximately $6,000,000 thousand (SG$260,723 thousand). The Company has prepaid $1,998,668 thousand which was classified as other assets-others. As of September 30, 2010, the ST-2 satellite is still under construction.

The Company has leased property to LED since April 2010. The leased term is 15 years and the rent is charged monthly.

Chunghwa sold the land with a carrying value of $936,016 thousand to Light Era Development Co., Ltd. (“LED”) at the price of $2,421,932 thousand in 2008. However, since the gain on disposal of land amounting to $1,485,916 thousand is unrealized, the gain was recognized as deferred credit - profit on intercompany transactions, and will not be recognized as revenue till the gain is realized in the future.

Chunghwa sold the land with a carrying value of $378,927 thousand to LED at price of $207,030 thousand in 2008 and resulted in a disposal loss amounting to $171,897 thousand. The disposal loss on land is unrealized and the unrealized loss is included in other assets - others. The unrealized loss is not recognized in earnings until it is sold to the third party and realized in the future.

The foregoing transactions with related parties were conducted as arm’s length transactions, except for the transactions with SENAO, CHIEF, CIYP, LED and IFE were determined in accordance with mutual agreements.

24. SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of September 30, 2010, in addition to those disclosed in other notes, Chunghwa’s remaining commitments under non-cancelable contracts with various parties were as follows:

 

a. Acquisitions of land and buildings of $187,875 thousand.

 

b. Acquisitions of telecommunications equipment of $19,335,234 thousand.

 

c. Contracts to print billing, envelopes and selling gifts $36,924 thousand.

 

d. Chunghwa also has non-cancelable operating leases covering certain buildings, computers, computer peripheral equipment and operating system software under contracts that expire in various years. Future lease payments were as follows:

 

Year

   Rental Amount  

2010 (from October 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010)

   $ 482,095   

2011

     1,634,686   

2012

     1,210,527   

2013

     830,756   

2014 and thereafter

     1,088,362   

 

e. A commitment to contribute $2,000,000 thousand to a Piping Fund administered by the Taipei City Government, of which $1,000,000 thousand was contributed by Chunghwa on August 15, 1996 (classified as long-term investment - other monetary assets). If the fund is not sufficient, Chunghwa will contribute the remaining $1,000,000 thousand upon notification from the Taipei City Government. Based on Chunghwa’s understanding of the Piping Fund terms, if the project is considered to be no longer necessary by the ROC government, Chunghwa will receive back its proportionate share of the net equity of the Piping Fund upon its dissolution. Chunghwa does not know when its contribution to the Piping Fund will be returned; therefore, Chunghwa did not discount the face amount of its contribution on the Piping Fund.

 

f. A portion of the land used by Chunghwa during the period July 1, 1996 to December 31, 2004 was co-owned by Chunghwa and Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. (the former Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. directorate General of Postal Service). In accordance with the claims process in Taiwan, on July 12, 2005, the Taiwan Taipei District Court sent a claim notice to Chunghwa to reimburse Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. in the amount of $767,852 thousand for land usage compensation due to the portion of land usage area in excess of Chunghwa’s ownership and along with interest calculated at 5% interest rate from June 30, 2005 to the payment date. Chunghwa stated that both parties have the right to use co-management land without consideration. Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. can not request payment for land compensation. Furthermore, Chunghwa believes that the computation used to derive the land usage compensation amount is inaccurate because most of the compensation amount has expired as result of the expiration clause. Therefore, Chunghwa filed an appeal at the Taiwan Taipei District Court. On March 30, 2009, the Taiwan Taipei District Court rendered its judgment that Chunghwa only need to pay $16,870 thousand along with interest calculated at 5% per annum from July 23, 2005 and 4% of the court fees as the court judgment compensation. However, Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. did not accept the judgment and filed an appeal at Taiwan High Court. Chunghwa also filed an appeal at the Taiwan High Court within the statutory period. On April 7, 2010, the Taiwan High Court rendered its judgment, ruling that we need to pay $23,284 thousand as compensation in addition to the $16,870 thousand from the Taiwan Taipei District Court judgment, along with interest calculated at 5% per annum from July 23, 2005 to the payment date and 12.5% of Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd.’s court fees from its original suit and subsequent appeal as compensation. Chunghwa has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court of the Republic of China within the statutory period.

b. Methods and assumptions used in the determination of fair values of financial instruments:

 

  1) The fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet generally correspond to the market prices of the financial assets. Because of the short maturities of these instruments, the carrying value represents a reasonable basis to estimate fair values. This method does not apply to the financial instruments discussed in Notes 2 and 3 below.

 

  2) If the financial instruments have quoted market prices in an active market, the quoted market prices are viewed as fair values. If the market prices of the available-for-sale financial assets are not readily available, valuation techniques are used incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent with prevailing market conditions.

 

  3) Financial assets carried at cost are investments in nonlisted shares, which have no quoted prices in an active market and entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair values. Therefore, no fair value is presented.

 

c. Fair values of financial instruments were as follow:

 

     Amount Based on
Quoted Market Price
     Amount Determined
Using  Valuation Techniques
 
     September 30      September 30  
     2010      2009      2010      2009

Available-for-sale financial assets

     2,434,791         15,851,520         —           —     

 

d. Information about financial risks

 

  1) Market risk

The foreign exchange rate fluctuations would result in Chunghwa’s foreign-currency-dominated assets and liabilities, outstanding currency swap contracts exposed to rate risk.

The financial instruments categorized as available-for-sale financial assets are mainly listed stocks and open-end mutual funds. Therefore, the market risk is the fluctuations of market price. In order to manage this risk, Chunghwa would assess the risk before investing therefore, no material market risk are anticipated.

 

  2) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by Chunghwa if the counter-parties or third-parties breached contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. The counter-parties or third-parties of the aforementioned financial instruments are reputable financial institutions and corporations. Management does not expect Chunghwa’s exposure to default by those parties to be material.

 

  3) Liquidation risk

Chunghwa has sufficient operating capital to meet cash needs upon settlement of derivative financial instruments. Therefore, the liquidation risk is low.

The financial instruments of the Company categorized as available-for-sale financial assets are publicly-traded, easily converted to cash. Therefore, no material liquidation risk are anticipated. The financial instruments categorized as financial assets carried at cost are investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market. Therefore, material liquidation risk is anticipated.

  4) Cash flow interest rate risk

Chunghwa engages in investments in fixed-interest-rate debt securities. Therefore, cash flows from such securities are not expected to fluctuate significantly due to changes in market interest rates.

In addition, Chunghwa engages in investments in floating-interest-rate debt securities. The changes in market interest rate would impact the floating-interest rate; therefore, cash flows from such securities are expected to fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

 

e. Fair value hedge

Chunghwa entered into currency swap contracts to hedge the fluctuation in exchange rates of beneficiary certificate denominated in foreign currency. No transaction met the criteria for hedge accounting for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The transaction was assessed as highly effective for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. There are no hedge currency swap contracts existed as of September 30, 2009.

According to the regulations of Securities and Futures Bureau, Chunghwa should disclose the derivative transactions of Chunghwa’s investees, SENAO and CHI, which was as follows:

 

  1) Holding period and contract amounts

SENAO and CHI entered into forward exchange contracts and index future contracts to reduce the exposure to foreign currency risk and price risk.

The outstanding forward exchange contracts as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

 

     Currency      Maturity Date      Contract Amount
(In Thousands)

Forward exchange contracts - buy

     NTD/USD         2009.10       NT$ 252,968/US$7,783

     Maturity Period      Units      Contract Amount
(In Thousands)
 

TAIEX futures

     2010.10         6       NT$ 9,140   

TAIEX futures

     2010.12         20       NT$ 31,468   

 

  2) Market risk

The foreign exchange rate fluctuations would result in SENAO’s foreign-currency-dominated assets and liabilities and open forward exchange contracts exposed to rate risk.

The fluctuations of market price would result in CHI’s index future contracts exposed to price risk.

  3) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by SENAO and CHI if the counter-parties or third-parties breached contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. The counter-parties or third-parties to the aforementioned financial instruments are reputable financial institutions. Management does not expect SENAO’s and CHI’s exposure to default by those parties to be material. The largest amount of exposure to default by those parties of the financial instruments of SENAO and CHI is the same as carrying value.

 

  4) Liquidation risk

SENAO and CHI have sufficient operating capital to meet cash needs upon settlement of derivative financial instruments. Therefore, the liquidation risk is low.

Note 1: The Company organizes its reporting segments based on types of organizational business. The five reporting segments are segregated as below: domestic fixed communications business, mobile communications business, internet business, international fixed communications business and others.

 

   

Domestic fixed communications business - the provision of local telephone services, domestic long distance telephone services, broadband access, and related services;

 

   

Mobile communications business - the provision of mobile services, sales of mobile handsets and data cards, and related services;

 

   

Internet business - the provision of HiNet services and related services;

 

   

International fixed communications business - the provision of international long distance telephone services and related services;

 

   

Others - the provision of non-Telecom Services, and the corporate related items not allocated to reportable segments.

 

Note 2: Represents intersegment revenues from goods and services.

 

Note 3: Beginning from September 1, 2009, the Company redefined its financial reporting operating segments into five operating segments: (a) domestic fixed communications business, (b) mobile communications business, (c) internet business, (d) international fixed communications business and (e) others. Prior to September 1, 2009, Chunghwa Telecom had six operating segments: (a) local operations, (b) domestic long distance operations, (c) international long distance operations, (d) cellular service operations, (e) internet and data operations and (f) all others. The redefinition of the Company’s operating segments is expected to facilitate the management’s ability to assess the performance of each operating segment by conforming the Company’s operating segments to the international trends of other telecommunications companies in general. The Company also early adopted the Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 41 “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) starting from September 1, 2009.

Consolidated Financial Statements for the

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and

Independent Accountants’ Review Report


 

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Except for the matters described in the next paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement on of Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements”, issued by the Auditing Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an audit opinion.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of certain subsidiaries as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 have not been reviewed. The total assets of these subsidiaries were 3.52% (NT$15,186,321 thousand) and 2.53% (NT$10,972,584 thousand), and the total liabilities of these subsidiaries were 11.19% (NT$6,188,816 thousand) and 4.57% (NT$2,567,970 thousand), of the related consolidated amounts as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The total revenues of these subsidiaries were 1.80 % (NT$2,705,963 thousand) and 1.61% (NT$2,373,528 thousand) of the related consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and their net losses were NT$427,274 thousand and NT$322,787 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Further, as discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of all equity method investees as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 have not been reviewed. The aggregate carrying values of these equity method investees were NT$1,690,251 thousand and NT$1,678,889 thousand as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and the equity in earnings (losses) were NT$112,614 thousand and NT$(30,742) thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Based on our reviews, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we reviewed financial statements of certain subsidiaries and equity method investees referred to in the preceding paragraph, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company early adopted the new Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 41, “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) beginning from September 1, 2009.

1. GENERAL

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (“Chunghwa”) was incorporated on July 1, 1996 in the Republic of China (“ROC”) pursuant to the Article 30 of the Telecommunications Act. Chunghwa is a company limited by shares and, prior to August 2000, was wholly owned by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (“MOTC”). Prior to July 1, 1996, the current operations of Chunghwa were carried out under the Directorate General of Telecommunications (“DGT”). The DGT was established by the MOTC in June 1943 to take primary responsibility in the development of telecommunications infrastructure and to formulate policies related to telecommunications. On July 1, 1996, the telecom operations of the DGT were spun-off to as Chunghwa which continues to carry out the business and the DGT continues to be the industry regulator.

As the dominate telecommunications service provider of fixed-line and Global System for Mobile Communications (“GSM”) in the ROC, Chunghwa is subject to additional regulations imposed by ROC.

Effective August 12, 2005, the MOTC had completed the process of privatizing Chunghwa by reducing the government ownership to below 50% in various stages. In July 2000, Chunghwa received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (the “SFC”) for a domestic initial public offering and its common shares were listed and traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (the “TSE”) on October 27, 2000. Certain of Chunghwa’s common shares had been sold, in connection with the foregoing privatization plan, in domestic public offerings at various dates from August 2000 to July 2003. Certain of Chunghwa’s common shares had also been sold in an international offering of securities in the form of American Depository Shares (“ADS”) on July 17, 2003 and were listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The MOTC sold common shares of Chunghwa by auction in the ROC on August 9, 2005 and completed the second international offering on August 10, 2005. Upon completion of the share transfers associated with these offerings on August 12, 2005, the MOTC owned less than 50% of the outstanding shares of Chunghwa and completed the privatization plan.

Senao International Co., Ltd. (“SENAO”) was incorporated in 1979. SENAO engages mainly in selling and maintaining mobile phones and its peripheral products. Chunghwa acquired 31.33% shares of SENAO on January 15, 2007 and has substantial control in SENAO by obtaining half of the seats of the board of directors of SENAO on April 12, 2007. On March 27, 2009, the board of directors of Chunghwa resolved to purchase 48,000 thousand common shares of SENAO through SENAO’s private placement. However, Chunghwa and SENAO did not complete the required procedures within the legal payment period; therefore, Chunghwa and SENAO decided to discontinue the private placement.

Senao International (Samoa) Holding Ltd. (SIS) was established by SENAO in 2009. SIS will engage mainly in international investment activities.

Senao International HK Limited (SIHK) was established by SIS in 2009. SIHK will engage mainly in international investment activities; however, no capital is injected in SIHK and SIHK is not on operation stage yet by September 30, 2010.

The total assets of the above subsidiaries were 3.52 % (NT$15,186,321 thousand) and 2.53% (NT$10,972,584 thousand), and the total liabilities of the above subsidiaries were 11.19% (NT$6,188,816 thousand) and 4.57% (NT$2,567,970 thousand), of the related consolidated amounts as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The aggregate total revenues for these subsidiaries were 1.80 % (NT$2,705,963 thousand) and 1.61% (NT$2,373,528 thousand), respectively, of the related consolidated amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and their net losses were NT$427,274 thousand and NT$322,787 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets are assets expected to be converted to cash, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations expected to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.

LED engages mainly in development of property for rent and sale. The assets and liabilities of LED related to property development within its operating cycle, which is over one year, are classified as current items. Assets and liabilities related to property development over its operating cycle are classified as noncurrent items.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are commercial paper and treasury bills purchased with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) include financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition. The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial asset is derecognized when Chunghwa loses control of its contractual rights over the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

Financial instruments at FVTPL are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized as expenses as incurred. Financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are remeasured at fair value, subsequently with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Cash dividends received subsequently (including those received in the period of investment) are recognized as income. On derecognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable or consideration paid and payable is recognized in earnings. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are classified as financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading. When the fair value is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Changes in fair value from subsequent remeasurement are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The corresponding accumulated gains or losses are recognized in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

The recognition and derecognition of available-for-sale financial assets are similar to those of financial assets at FVTPL.

Fair values are determined as follows: Listed stocks - at closing prices at the balance sheet date; open-end mutual funds - at net asset values at the balance sheet date; bonds - quoted at prices provided by the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market; and financial assets and financial liabilities without quoted prices in an active market - at values determined using valuation techniques.

Cash dividends are recognized in earnings on the ex-dividend date, except for the dividends declared before acquisitions are treated as a reduction of investment cost. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares and do not affect investment income. The total number of shares subsequent to the increase of stock dividends is used for recalculating cost per share. The difference between the initial cost of a debt instrument and its maturity amount is amortized using the effective interest method, with the amortized interest recognized in profit or loss.

An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, for equity securities, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity; for debt securities, the amount of the decrease is recognized in earnings, provided that the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized.

Held-to-maturity Financial Assets

Held-to-maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Those financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Gains and losses are recognized at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortization. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease. The reversal may not result in a carrying amount that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Revenue Recognition, Account Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

Revenues are recognized when they are realized or realizable and earned. Revenues are realized or realizable and earned when the Company has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the goods have been delivered or the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts agreed between the Company and the customers for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of sales discounts and volume rebates. For trade receivables due within one year from the balance sheet date, as the nominal value of the consideration to be received approximates its fair value and transactions are frequent, fair value of the consideration is not determined by discounting all future receipts using an imputed rate of interest.

Usage revenues from fixed-line services (including local, domestic long distance and international long distance), cellular services, Internet and data services, and interconnection and call transfer fees from other telecommunications companies and carriers are billed in arrears and are recognized based upon minutes of traffic processed when the services are provided in accordance with contract terms.

The costs of providing services are recognized as incurred. Incentives to third party dealers for inducing business which are payable when the end user enters into an airtime contract are recognized in marketing expenses as incurred.

Other revenues are recognized as follows: (a) one-time subscriber connection fees (on fixed-line services) are deferred and recognized over the average expected customer service periods, (b) monthly fees (on fixed-line services, wireless and Internet and data services) are accrued every month, and (c) prepaid services (fixed line, cellular and Internet) are recognized as income based upon actual usage by customers or when the right to use those services expires.

Where the Company enters into transactions which involve both the provision of air time bundled with products such as 3G data card and handset, total consideration received from handsets in these arrangements are allocated and measured using units of accounting within the arrangement based on relative fair values limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of other items or services.

Where the Company sells products to third party cellular phone stores the Company records the direct sale of the products, typically handsets, as gross revenue when the Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement and when title is passed and the products are accepted by the stores.

An allowance for doubtful receivables is provided based on a review of the collectibility of accounts receivable. The Company determines the amount of allowance for doubtful receivables by examining the aging analysis of outstanding accounts receivable.

Inventories

Inventories including merchandise and work-in-process are stated at the lower of cost (weighted-average cost) or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The calculation of the cost of inventory is derived using the weighted-average method.

Inventories of LED are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Prepayments for licensing and other miscellaneous costs have been capitalized as part of inventory. Profit shall be recognized in full when the land is sold, provided (a) the profit is determinable, that is, the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured or the amount that will not be collectible can be estimated, and (b) the earnings process is virtually completed.

Investments Accounted for using Equity Method

Investments in companies in which the Company exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for by the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially stated at cost and subsequently adjusted for its proportionate share in the net earnings of the investee companies. Any cash dividends received are recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the investments.

Gains or losses on sales from the Company to equity method investees wherein Chunghwa exercises significant influence over these equity investees are deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage in the investees until such gains or losses are realized through transactions with third parties. Gains or losses on sales from equity method investees to Chunghwa are deferred in proportion to Chunghwa’s ownership percentages in the investees until they are realized through transactions with third parties.

When the Company subscribes for additional investees shares at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment in the investee differs from the amount of the Company share of the investee’s equity. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to long-term investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to additional paid-in capital the extent available, with the balance charged to retained earnings.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted price in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably measured such as non-publicly traded stocks are measured at their original cost. If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed.

The accounting treatment for cash dividends and stock dividends arising from financial assets carried at cost is the same as that for cash dividends and stock dividends arising from available-for-sale financial assets.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost plus a revaluation increment, if any, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. The interest costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as property, plant and equipment. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

When an indication of impairment is identified, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

An impairment loss on a revalued asset is charged to “unrealized revaluation increment” under equity to the extent available, with the balance is recognized as a loss in earnings. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment loss could be reversed and recognized as a gain, with the remaining credited to “unrealized revaluation increment”.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives: land improvements - 10 to 30 years; buildings - 10 to 60 years; computer equipment - 3 to 10 years; telecommunication equipment - 5 to 30 years; transportation equipment - 5 to 10 years; and miscellaneous equipment - 2 to 12 years.

Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, the related cost, accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses and any unrealized revaluation increment are deducted from the corresponding accounts, and any gain or loss is recorded as non-operating gains or losses in the period of sale or disposal.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets mainly include 3G Concession, computer software, patents and goodwill.

The 3G license is valid through December 31, 2018. The 3G Concession fees is amortized on a straight-line basis from the date operations commence through the date the license expires. Computer software costs and patents are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 2 to 20 years.

The Company adopted the newly released Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 37, “Intangible Assets.” Expenditure on research shall be expensed as incurred. Development Costs are capitalized when those costs meet relative criteria and are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Development costs that do not meet relative criteria shall be expensed as incurred.

When an indication of impairment is identified for intangible assets other than goodwill, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for acquisition over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. If an event occurs or circumstances change which indicates that the fair value of goodwill is below its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed.

Idle Assets

Idle assets are carried at the lower of recoverable amount or carrying amount.

Pension Costs

For defined benefit pension plans, net periodic pension benefit cost is recorded in the consolidated statement of income and includes service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service costs, amortization of pension gains ( losses) and curtailment or settlement gains ( losses).

The Company recognizes into income, any unrecognized actuarial net gains or losses that exceed 10% of the larger of projected benefit obligations or plan assets, defined as the “corridor”. Amounts inside this 10% corridor are amortized over the average remaining service life of active plan participants. Actuarial net gains and losses occur when actual experience differs from any of the many assumptions used to value the plans. Differences between the expected and actual returns on plan assets and changes in interest rate, which affect the discount rate used to value projected plan obligations, can have a significant impact on the calculation of pension net gains and losses from year to year.

The curtailments and settlement gains (losses) resulted from the Chunghwa’s early retirement programs. Curtailment/settlement gains or losses are equal to the changes of underfunded status plus a pro rata portion of the unrecognized prior service cost, unrecognized net gains (losses), and unrecognized transition obligations/assets, before the settlement/curtailment event multiplied by the percentage reduction in projected benefit obligation.

The projected benefit obligation represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement based on estimated future compensation levels.

The carrying amount of accrued pension liability should be the sum of the following amounts when the calculation is positive: (a) projected benefit obligation as of balance sheet date, (b) minus (plus) unamortized actuarial loss (gain), (c) minus unamortized prior service cost, and (d) minus the fair value of plan assets. If the amount determined by above calculation is negative, it is viewed as prepaid pension cost. The prepaid pension cost is measured at the lower of: (a) the amount determined above, and (b) the sum of the following amounts: (i) unamortized actuarial loss, (ii) unamortized prior service cost, and (iii) the present value of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

The measurement of benefit obligations and net periodic cost (income) is based on estimates and assumptions approved by the company’s management such as compensation, age and seniority, as well as certain assumptions, including estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets and rate of compensation increases.

For employees under defined contribution pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on the actual contributions made to employees’ individual pension accounts during their service periods.

Expense Recognition

The costs of providing services are recognized as incurred. The cost includes incentives to third party dealers for inducing business which are payable when the end user enters into an airtime contract.

Share-based Compensation

Employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2008 are accounted for using fair value method in accordance with under SFAS No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment.” The adoption of SFAS No. 39 did not have any impact on the Company.

Employee stock options granted between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2007 were accounted for under the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (the “ARDF”). The Company adopted the intrinsic value method, under which compensation cost was amortized over the vesting period.

Income Tax

The Company applies inter-period allocations for its income tax, whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences and unused tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled.

Any tax credits arising from purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, personnel training, and investments in important technology-based enterprises are recognized using the flow-through method.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

Income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings are recorded in the year of stockholders approval which are the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

Foreign-currency Transactions

Foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains or losses derived from foreign-currency transactions or monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in earnings. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at prevailing exchange rates with the resulting gains or losses recognized in earnings.

The financial statements of foreign equity investees are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates. Assets and liabilities - spot rates at period-end; stockholders’ equity - historical rates, income and expenses - average rates during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Hedge Accounting

A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting only if, all of the following conditions are met: (a) at the inception of the hedge, there is formal documentation of the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge; (b) the hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk, consistently with the risk management strategy documented for that particular hedging relationship; (c) the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured; (d) the hedge is assessed on an ongoing basis and determined actually to have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which the hedge was designated.

The gains or losses from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value and the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings.

The hedging items that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting were classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

3. EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The Company early adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 41 “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) starting from September 1, 2009. This Statement supersedes the Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 20 “Segment Reporting”.

The Company adopted the newly-revised Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 10, “Accounting for Inventories,” (“SFAS No. 10”) beginning from January 1, 2009, which requires inventories to be stated at the lower of cost (weighted-average cost) or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. The inventory-related incomes and expenses shall be classified as operating cost.

Chunghwa entered into investment management agreements with well-known financial institutions (fund managers) to manage its investment portfolios in 2006. The investment portfolios managed by these fund managers aggregated to an original amount of US$100,000 thousand. Chunghwa terminated the investment management agreements on March 2, 2009 and asked fund managers to dispose all the investment portfolios. The fund managers had disposed all investment portfolios before June 23, 2009 and returned the proceeds to Chunghwa.

The Company entered into currency swap contracts, forward exchange contracts and index future contracts to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk and variability in operating results due to fluctuations in exchange rates and stock prices. However, these derivatives do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and were classified as financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading.

(Concluded)

After evaluating the financial assets carried at cost, Chunghwa determined the investment in ETS was impaired and recognized an impairment loss of $10,000 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2009.

After evaluating the financial assets carried at cost, CHI determined the investment in DIG was impaired and recognized an impairment loss of $10,289 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Chunghwa participated in TFC’s capital increase in October 2008 and prepaid $285,859 thousand. However, TFC was not expected to be able to collect enough amount of capital increase within a specific period; therefore TFC’s board of directors held a meeting on April 10, 2009 and resolved to withdraw its capital increase plan from Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan (“FSC”). TFC returned the prepayment to Chunghwa on May 8, 2009.

The above investments do not have a quoted market price in an active market and the fair values cannot be reliably measured; therefore, these investments are carried at original cost.

As of September 30, 2010, the outstanding ADSs were 956,491 thousand common shares, which equaled approximately 95,649 thousand units and represented 9.86% of Chunghwa’s total outstanding common shares.

The ADS holders generally have the same rights and obligations as other common stockholders, subject to the provision of relevant laws. The exercise of such rights and obligations shall comply with the related regulations and deposit agreement, which stipulate, among other things, that ADS holders can, through deposit agents:

 

a. Exercise their voting rights,

 

b. Sell their ADSs, and

 

c. Receive dividends declared and subscribe to the issuance of new shares.

Under the ROC Company Law, additional paid-in capital may only be utilized to offset deficits. For those companies having no deficits, additional paid-in capital arising from capital surplus can be used to increase capital stock and distribute to stockholders in proportion to their ownership at the ex-dividend date. Also, such amounts can only be declared as a stock dividend by Chunghwa at an amount calculated in accordance with the provisions of existing regulations. The combined amount of any portions capitalized each year may not exceed 10 percent of common stock issued. However, where a company undergoes an organizational change (such as a merger, acquisition, or reorganization) that results in the capitalization of undistributed earnings after the organizational change, the above restriction does not apply.

In addition, before distributing a dividend or making any other distribution to stockholders, Chunghwa must pay all outstanding taxes, recover any past losses and set aside a legal reserve equal to 10% of its net income, and depending on its business needs or requirements, may also set aside a special reserve. In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, no less than 50% of the remaining earnings comprising remaining balance of net income, if any, plus cumulative undistributed earnings shall be distributed in the following order: (a) from 2% to 5% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to employees as employee bonus; (b) no more than 0.2% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to board of directors and supervisors as remuneration; and (c) cash dividends to be distributed shall not be less than 50% of the total amount of dividends to be distributed. If cash dividends to be distributed is less than $0.10 per share, such cash dividend shall be distributed in the form of common shares.

Chunghwa operates in a capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry and requires capital expenditures to sustain its competitive position in high-growth market. Thus, Chunghwa’s dividend policy takes into account future capital expenditure outlays. In this regard, a portion of the earnings may be retained to finance these capital expenditures. The remaining earnings can then be distributed as dividends if approved by the stockholders in the following year and will be recorded in the financial statements of that year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the accrual amounts for bonuses to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors were accrued based on past experiences and probable amount to be paid in accordance with Chunghwa’s Articles of Incorporation and Implementation Guidance for the Employee’s Bonus Distribution of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

If the initial accrual amounts of the aforementioned bonus are significantly different from the amounts proposed by the board of directors, the difference is charged to the earnings of the year making the initial estimate. Otherwise, the difference between initial accrual amount and the amount resolved in the shareholders’ meeting is charged to the earnings of the following year as a result of change in accounting estimate.

Under the ROC Company Law, the appropriation for legal reserve shall be made until the accumulated reserve equals the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of Chunghwa. This reserve can only be used to offset a deficit, or when reaching 50% of the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of Chunghwa, up to 50% of the reserve may, at the option of Chunghwa, be declared as a stock dividend and transferred to capital.

The appropriations and distributions of the 2009 and 2008 earnings of Chunghwa have been approved by the stockholders on June 18, 2010 and June 19, 2009 as follows:

In May 2010, the Legislative Yuan passed the amendment of Article 5 of the Income Tax Law, which reduced the income tax rate of profit-seeking enterprises from 20% to 17%, effective January 1, 2010. The Company recalculated its deferred income tax assets and liabilities in accordance with the amended Article and recorded the resulting difference as an income tax expense or benefit.

Under Article 10 of the Statute for Industrial Innovation (SII) passed by the Legislative Yuan in April 2010, a profit-seeking enterprise may deduct up to 15% of its research and development expenditures from its income tax payable for the fiscal year in which these expenditures are incurred, but this deduction should not exceed 30% of the income tax payable for that fiscal year. This incentive took effect from January 1, 2010 and is effective until December 31, 2019.

In March 2007, the ARDF issued an Interpretation 96-052 that requires companies to recognize bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as an expense rather than an appropriation of earnings beginning from January 1, 2008. According to the Interpretation 97-169 issued by ARDF in May 2008, Chunghwa presumed that the employees bonuses to be paid will be settled in shares and takes those shares into consideration when calculating the weighted average number of outstanding shares used in the calculation of diluted EPS if the shares have a dilutive effect for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The number of shares is calculated by dividing the amount of bonuses by the closing price of the Chunghwa’s shares as of the balance sheet date. The dilutive effect of the shares needs to be considered until the stockholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees in their meeting in the following year.

27. PENSION PLAN

Chunghwa completed privatization plans on August 12, 2005. Chunghwa is required to pay all accrued pension obligations including service clearance payment, lump sum payment under civil service plan, additional separation payments, etc. upon the completion of the privatization in accordance with the Statute Governing Privatization of Stated-owned Enterprises. After paying all pension obligations for privatization, the plan assets of Chunghwa should be transferred to the Fund for Privatization of Government-owned Enterprises (the “Privatization Fund”) under the Executive Yuan. On August 7, 2006, Chunghwa transferred the remaining balance of fund to the Privatization Fund. However, according to the instructions of MOTC, Chunghwa is requested to pay all accrued pension obligations including service clearance payment, lump sum payment under civil service plan, additional separation payments, etc. upon the completion of the privatization.

The pension plan under the Labor Pension Act of ROC (the “LPA”) is considered as a defined contribution plan. Based on the LPA, Chunghwa, SENAO, CIYP, CHIEF, Unigate, CHSI, SHE, LED, IFE, and CHI makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

The Company’s pension plan is considered as a defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Law that provide benefits based on an employee’s length of service and average six-month salary prior to retirement at retirement. Chunghwa, SENAO, CHIEF and SHE contribute an amount no more than 15% of salaries paid each month to their respective pension funds (the Funds), which are administered by the Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee (the Committee) and deposited in the names of the Committees in the Bank of Taiwan.

Pension costs of the Company were $2,234,631 thousand ($2,063,703 thousand subject to defined benefit plan and $170,928 thousand subject to defined contributed plan) and $2,185,913 thousand ($2,054,794 thousand subject to defined benefit plan and $131,119 thousand subject to defined contributed plan) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

28. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The ROC Government, one of Chunghwa’s customers held significant equity interest in Chunghwa. Chunghwa provides fixed-line services, wireless services, Internet and data and other services to the various departments and institutions of the ROC Government and other state-owned enterprises in the normal course of business and at arm’s-length prices. The information on service revenues from government bodies and related organizations have not been provided because details of the type of transactions were not summarized by Chunghwa. Chunghwa believes that all costs of doing business are reflected in the financial statements.

h. A commitment to contribute $2,000,000 thousand to a Piping Fund administered by the Taipei City Government, of which $1,000,000 thousand was contributed by Chunghwa on August 15, 1996 (classified as long-term investment—other monetary assets). If the fund is not sufficient, Chunghwa will contribute the remaining $1,000,000 thousand upon notification from the Taipei City Government. Based on Chunghwa’s understanding of the Piping Fund terms, if the project is considered to be no longer necessary by the ROC government, Chunghwa will receive back its proportionate share of the net equity of the Piping Fund upon its dissolution. The Company does not know when its contribution to the Piping Fund will be returned; therefore, the Company did not discount the face amount of its contribution to the Pining Fund.

 

i. A portion of the land used by Chunghwa during the period July 1, 1996 to December 31, 2004 was co-owned by Chunghwa and Taiwan Post Co., Ltd. (the former Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. directorate General of Postal Service). In accordance with the claims process in Taiwan, on July 12, 2005, the Taiwan Taipei District Court sent a claim notice to Chunghwa to reimburse Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. in the amount of $767,852 thousand for land usage compensation due to the portion of land usage area in excess of Chunghwa’s ownership and along with interest calculated at 5% interest rate from June 30, 2005 to the payment date. Chunghwa stated that both parties have the right to use co-management land without consideration. Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. can’t request payment for land compensation. Furthermore, Chunghwa believes that the computation used to derive the land usage compensation amount is inaccurate because most of the compensation amount has expired as result of the expiration clause. Therefore, Chunghwa filed an appeal at the Taiwan Taipei District Court. On March 30, 2009, the Taiwan Taipei District Court rendered its judgment that Chunghwa only need to pay $16,870 thousand along with interest calculated at 5% per annum from July 23, 2005 and 4% of the court fees as the court judgment compensation. However, Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. did not accept the judgment and filed an appeal at Taiwan High Court. Chunghwa also filed an appeal at the Taiwan High Court within the statutory period. On April 7, 2010, the Taiwan High Court rendered its judgment, ruling that we need to pay $23,284 thousand as compensation in addition to the $16,870 thousand from the Taiwan Taipei District Court judgment, along with interest calculated at 5% per annum from July 23, 2005 to the payment date and 12.5% of Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd.’s court fees from its original suit and subsequent appeal as compensation. Chunghwa has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court of the Republic of China within the statutory period.

  b. Methods and assumptions used in the estimation of fair values of financial instruments:

 

  1) The fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet generally correspond to the market prices of the financial assets. Because of the short maturities of these instruments, the carrying value represents a reasonable basis to estimate fair values. This method does not apply to the financial instruments discussed in Notes 2, 3, and 4 below.

 

  2) If the financial instruments have quoted market prices in an active market, the quoted market prices are viewed as fair values. If the market price of the other financial instruments are not readily available, valuation techniques are used incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent with prevailing market conditions.

 

  3) Financial assets carried at cost are investments in nonlisted shares, which have no quoted prices in an active market and entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair values. Therefore, no fair value is presented.

 

  4) The fair value of long-term loans (including current portion) is discounted based on projected cash flow which approximate their carrying amounts. The projected cash flows were discounted using the interest rate of similar long-term loans.

  d. Information about financial risks

 

  1) Market risk

The foreign exchange rate fluctuations would result in the Company’s foreign-currency-dominated assets and liabilities, outstanding currency swap contracts, forward exchange contracts exposed to rate risk.

The fluctuations of market price would result in the index future contracts exposed to price risk.

The financial instruments categorized as available-for-sale financial assets are mainly listed stocks, open-end mutual funds and corporate bonds. Therefore, the market risk is the fluctuations of market price. In order to manage this risk, the Company would assess the risk before investing; therefore, no material market risk are anticipated.

 

  2) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Company if the counter-parties or third-parties breached contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. The counter-parties or third-parties of the aforementioned financial instruments are reputable financial institutions and corporations. Management does not expect the Company’s exposure to default by those parties to be material.

 

  3) Liquidation risk

The Company has sufficient operating capital to meet cash needs upon settlement of derivative financial instruments. Therefore, the cash flow risk is low.

The financial instruments of the Company categorized as available-for-sale financial assets are publicly-traded, easily converted to cash. Therefore, no material liquidation risk are anticipated. The financial instruments categorized as financial assets carried at cost are investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market. Therefore, material liquidation risk is anticipated.

 

  4) Cash flow interest rate risk

The Company engages in investments in fixed-interest-rate debt securities. Therefore, cash flows from such securities are not expected to fluctuate significantly due to changes in market interest rates.

In addition, the Company engages in investments in floating-interest-rate debt securities. The changes in market interest rate would impact the floating-interest rate; therefore, cash flows from such securities are expected to fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

 

  e. Fair value hedge

Chunghwa entered into currency swap contracts to hedge the fluctuation in exchange rates of beneficiary certificates denominated in foreign currency, which is fair value hedge. No transaction met the criteria for hedge accounting for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The transaction was assessed as highly effective for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. There are no outstanding hedge currency swap contracts or forward exchange contracts existed as of September 30, 2009.

Note 1:

  The Company organizes its reporting segments based on types of organizational business. The five reporting segments are segregated as below: domestic fixed communications business, mobile communications business, internet business, international fixed communications business and others.
     Domestic fixed communications business - the provision of local telephone services, domestic long distance telephone services, broadband access, and related services;
     Mobile communications business - the provision of mobile services, sales of mobile handsets and data cards, and related services;
     Internet business - the provision of HiNet services and related services;
     International fixed communications business - the provision of international long distance telephone services and related services;
     Others - the provision of non-Telecom Services, and the corporate related items not allocated to reportable segments.
Note 2:   Represents intersegment revenues from goods and services.
Note 3:   Beginning from September 1, 2009, the Company redefined its financial reporting operating segments into five operating segments: (a) domestic fixed communications business, (b) mobile communications business, (c) internet business, (d) international fixed communications business and (e) others. Prior to September 1, 2009, Chunghwa Telecom had seven operating segments: (a) local operations, (b) domestic long distance operations, (c) international long distance operations, (d) cellular service operations, (e) internet and data operations, (f) cellular phone sales and (g) all others. The redefinition of the Company’s operating segments is expected to facilitate the management’s ability to assess the performance of each operating segment by conforming the Company’s operating segments to the international trends of other telecommunications companies in general. The Company also early adopted the Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 41 “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) starting from September 1, 2009.

  3) Cash Flows Differences

The Company applies ROC SFAS No. 17, “Statement of Cash Flows”. Its objectives and principles are similar to those set out in U.S. standards. The principal differences between the two standards relate to classification. Cash flows from investing activities for changes in other assets, and cash flows from financing activities for changes in customers’ deposits and other liabilities are reclassified to operating activities under U.S. standards.

 

Note 1: There are significant differences in the classification of items on the statements of income under ROC GAAP and US GAAP. These include:

 

  (1) Incentives paid to third party dealers for inducing business:

 

   

Under ROC GAAP: Such account is included in operating expenses.

 

   

Under US GAAP: Such account is included in cost of revenues.

 

  (2) Gains (losses) on disposal of property, plant and equipment and other assets:

 

   

Under ROC GAAP: Such account is included in non-operating income (expenses).

 

   

Under US GAAP: Such account is included in cost of revenues.

 

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED

In September 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables which established the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, the update addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the update.

In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance relating to fair value measurements and disclosures. This guidance requires new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the update.
