INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards required that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended 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 audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and have expressed a modified unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

 

 

1. GENERAL

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (the “Company” or “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 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 December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had 24,474 and 24,668 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.

 

- 12 -


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 the Company 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, with subsequent 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.

Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities at the balance sheet date are determined as follows: Forward exchange contracts are estimated by valuation techniques.

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 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.

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 as well as historical collection experience.

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.

Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method

Investments in companies where in the Company exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for using 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.

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.

 

- 15 -


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 - 2 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 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 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.

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.

 

- 16 -


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.

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 other than derivative contracts 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.

At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency nonmonetary assets (such as equity instruments) and liabilities that are measured at fair value are revalued using prevailing exchange rates. When a gain or loss on a nonmonetary item is recognized in stockholders’ equity, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in stockholders’ equity. Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in earnings, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in earnings.

Foreign-currency nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are carried at cost continue to be stated at exchange rates at trade dates.

The financial statements of foreign equity investees and consolidated subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates. Assets and liabilities - spot rates at year-end; stockholders’ equity - historical rates, income and expenses - average rates during the year.

The resulting translation adjustments of financial statements shall be recorded as cumulative translation adjustments, 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.

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. However, the aforementioned derivatives did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and were classified as financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading.

On March 27, 2009, the board of directors of Chunghwa resolved to purchase 48,000 thousand common shares of Senao International Co., Ltd. (“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.

Chunghwa invested in Chunghwa Investment Co., Ltd. (“CHI”) in September 2009 for $758,709 thousand. Chunghwa increased its ownership interest in CHI from 49% to 89%. CHI engages mainly in professional investing in telecommunication business and the telecommunication valued-added services.

Chunghwa increased its investment in Chunghwa Telecom Singapore Pte., Ltd. (“CHTS”) for $610,659 thousand in July 2009. CHTS engages mainly in telecommunication wholesale, internet transfer services, international data, long distance call wholesales to carriers and the world satellite business.

18. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Under Chunghwa’s Articles of Incorporation, Chunghwa’s authorized capital is $120,000,000 thousand which is divided into 12,000,000 thousand common shares (at $10 par value per share). The stockholders, at the stockholders’ meeting held on June 18, 2010 resolved to reduce the amount of capital in Chunghwa by a cash distribution to its stockholders. The board of directors of Chunghwa further authorized the chairman of board of directors of Chunghwa to designate the record date of capital reduction as of October 26, 2010 and the stock transfer date of capital reduction as of January 15, 2011. The common stock capital of Chunghwa is $77,574,465 thousand as of December 31, 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 6, 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. Subsequently, the MOTC and Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. sold 505,389 thousand and 58,959 thousand common shares of Chunghwa, respectively, in the form of ADS totally amounting to 56,435 thousand units on September 29, 2006. The MOTC and Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. have sold 3,024,780 thousand common shares in the form of ADS amounting to 302,478 thousand units. As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding ADSs representing 892,783 thousand common shares, which equaled approximately 89,278 thousand units and represented 9.21% of Chunghwa’s total outstanding common shares.

 

- 26 -


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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the accrual amounts for bonuses to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors were accrued 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.

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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. 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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were due to the effect of potential common stock of stock options by SENAO.

 

22. 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. on behalf of the MOTC 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 makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

Chunghwa’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. Chunghwa 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.

The Company used December 31 as the measurement date for their pension plans.

Pension costs of Chunghwa were $2,874,480 thousand ($2,744,914 thousand subject to defined benefit plan and $129,566 thousand subject to defined contribution plan) and $2,855,647 thousand ($2,732,388 thousand subject to defined benefit plan and $123,259 thousand subject to defined contribution plan) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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 $2,517,166 thousand which was classified as other assets-others. As of December 31, 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. Gain on disposal of land $45,909 thousand was recognized in 2010.

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 - other. 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 determined in accordance with mutual agreements.

     594,022   

 

  f. 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.

 

  g.

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’t request payment for land compensation. Furthermore, Chunghwa believes that the computation used to derive the land usage compensation

 

- 38 -


 

amount is inaccurate because most of the compensation amount has expired as result of the expiration clause. Therefore, Chunghwa has 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. The case is under the review process of the Supreme Court of the Republic of China.

  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 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 assets and liabilities using quoted market prices or valuation techniques were as follow:

 

     Amount Based on Quoted
Market Price
     Amount Determined Using
Valuation Techniques
 
     December 31      December 31  
     2010      2009      2010      2009  

Assets

           

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

   $ —         $ —         $ 34,278       $ 6,677   

Available-for-sale financial assets

     1,030,500         16,684,380         —           —     

 

  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.

 

- 40 -


The financial instruments of the Company categorized as available-for-sale financial assets are publicly-traded, easily converted to cash. Therefore, no material liquidation risks 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.

 

  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 year ended December 31, 2010. The transaction was assessed as highly effective for the year ended December 31, 2009. There are no outstanding hedge currency or forward exchange contracts existed as of December 31, 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 of SENAO as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

 

     Currency      Maturity Date     

Contract Amount

(In Thousands)

 

December 31, 2010

        

Forward exchange contracts - buy

     NTD/USD         2011.01         NT$17,965/US$600   

December 31, 2009

        

Forward exchange contracts - buy

     NTD/USD         2010.01         NT$86,657/US$2,680   

There were no outstanding index future contracts of CHI as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Net (loss) gain of SANEO arising from derivative financial products for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $2,223 thousand and ($2,855) thousand, respectively.

Net loss of CHI arising from derivative financial products for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $6,217 thousand and $262 thousand, respectively.

 

  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.

 

- 41 -


  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 early adopted the statement of Financial accounting standards No. 41 “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) and 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.

Independent Auditors’ Report

  


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those standards required that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended 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.

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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC (“ROC GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated 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, 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:

Principle of Consolidation

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with the requirements of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 25, “Business Combinations”.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all directly and indirectly majority owned subsidiaries of Chunghwa, and the accounts of investees in which Chunghwa’s ownership percentage is less than 50% but over which Chunghwa has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

 

- 14 -

For foreign subsidiaries using their local currency as their functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date; stockholders’ equity accounts are translated into New Taiwan dollars at historical exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated into New Taiwan dollars at average exchange rates during the period.

The entities in the “Consolidated Financial Statements of Affiliated Enterprises” are the same as those in the consolidated financial statements; thus, no consolidated financial statements of Chunghwa and affiliates will be compiled. The information needed in the consolidated financial statements of Chunghwa and affiliates is enclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

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. For 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 the Company 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, subsequent 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.

Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities at the balance sheet date are determined as follows: Forward exchange contracts and currency swap contracts are estimated by valuation techniques; bonds are based on prices quoted by GreTai Securities Market (GTSM).

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 acquisition which 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. 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 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 collectability is reasonably assured.

 

- 16 -


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.

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 collectability of accounts receivable. The Company determines the amount of allowance for doubtful receivables by examining the aging analysis of outstanding accounts receivable as well as historical collection experience.

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.

Buildings and Lands Consigned to Constructing Firm

Inventories of LED are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group as similar items or related inventories. Land acquired before the construction has been classified as land held for development, and then reclassified as land held under development after LED begins its construction project. Prepayment for licensing and other miscellaneous costs have been capitalized as part of inventory.

When using the completed-contract method for its construction projects, LED recognizes the proceeds from customers as advances from customers for land and building before the construction project is completed. After completion of the construction project and ownership is transferred to the customers, LED recognizes the relevant revenues.

 

- 17 -


When using percentage-of-completion method, profits are recorded based on LED’s estimates of the percentage of completion of individual contracts, commencing when the work performed under the contracts reaches a point where the final costs can be estimated with reasonable accuracy. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. If the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which it becomes evident.

The percentage of completion is measured based on the completion of the contract milestones predetermined by the architects and engineers. Construction in progress is stated at cost plus (less) amounts associated with estimated profit (loss) recognized on the basis of the percentage-of-completion method.

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 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.

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 - 5 to 60 years; computer equipment - 2 to 15 years; telecommunication equipment - 2 to 30 years; transportation equipment - 3 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 recorded as non-operating gains or losses in the year of sale or disposal.

Intangible Assets

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

The 3G Concession 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 2-20 years.

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 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 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).

 

- 19 -


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 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: (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.

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 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 other than derivative contracts 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.

At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency nonmonetary assets (such as equity instruments) and liabilities that are measured at fair value are revalued using prevailing exchange rates. When a gain or loss on a nonmonetary item is recognized in stockholders’ equity, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in stockholders’ equity. Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in earnings, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in earnings.

Foreign-currency nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are carried at cost continue to be stated at exchange rates at trade dates.

The financial statements of foreign equity investees and consolidated subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates. Assets and liabilities - spot rates at year-end; stockholders’ equity - historical rates, income and expenses - average rates during the year.

The resulting translation adjustments of financial statements shall be recorded as cumulative translation adjustments, 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.

 

- 21 -


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”. For comparative purpose, the segment information for the year ended December 31, 2009 was presented in accordance with SFAS No. 41.

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. However, the aforementioned derivatives did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and were classified as financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading.

Outstanding currency swap contracts and forward exchange contracts as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

After evaluating the financial assets carried at cost, CHI determined the investment in DIG was impaired and recognized impairment losses of NT$20,920 thousand and NT$10,289 thousand in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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.

22. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Under Chunghwa’s Articles of Incorporation, Chunghwa’s authorized capital is NT$120,000 million, which is divided into 12,000,000 thousand common shares (at $10 par value per share). The stockholders, at the stockholders’ meeting held on June 18, 2010 resolved to reduce the amount of capital in Chunghwa by a cash distribution to its stockholders. The board of directors of Chunghwa further authorized the chairman of board of directors of Chunghwa to designate the record date of capital reduction as of October 26, 2010 and the stock transfer date of capital reduction as of January 15, 2011. The common stock capital of Chunghwa is NT$77,574,465 thousand as of December 31, 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 6, 2009.

 

- 33 -


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. Subsequently, the MOTC and Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. sold 505,389 thousand and 58,959 thousand common shares of Chunghwa, respectively, in the form of ADS totally amounting to 56,435 thousand units on September 29, 2006. The MOTC and Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. have sold 3,024,780 thousand common shares in the form of ADS amounting to 302,478 thousand units. As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding ADSs representing 892,783 thousand common shares, which equaled approximately 89,278 thousand units and represented 9.21% 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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the accrual amounts for bonuses to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors were accrued 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.

 

- 34 -


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 and resolved by the stockholders on June 18, 2010 and June 19, 2009 as follows:

 

     Appropriation and Distribution      Dividend Per Share

     39,369,041         37,138,775       $ 4.06       $ 3.83   

The amounts for bonuses to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors approved in the stockholders’ meeting on June 18, 2010, were $1,800,929 thousand and $41,211 thousand paid by cash, respectively. There was no difference between the initial accrual amounts and the amounts resolved in stockholders’ meeting of the aforementioned bonuses to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors.

The amounts for bonuses to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors approved in the stockholders’ meeting on June 19, 2009, were $1,629,915 thousand and $38,807 thousand paid in cash, respectively.

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 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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. 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.

 

- 41 -


The diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was due to the effect of potential common stock related to stock options granted by SENAO.

 

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. on behalf of the MOTC 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 and its subsidiaries make 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. Chunghwa and its subsidiaries 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 $2,982,396 thousand ($2,751,730 thousand subject to defined benefit plan and $230,666 thousand subject to defined contributed plan) and $2,948,459 thousand ($2,737,057 thousand subject to defined benefit plan and $211,402 thousand subject to defined contributed plan) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

  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 from 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 NT$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 has 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 NT$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 Chunghwa 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. The case is under the review process of the Supreme Court of the Republic of China.

  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.

 

  c. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities using quoted market prices or valuation techniques were as follows:

 

     Amount Based on Quoted
Market Price

  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 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 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

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.

 

  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 year ended December 31, 2010. The transaction was assessed as highly effective for the year ended December 31, 2009. There are no outstanding hedge currency or forward exchange contracts existed as of December 31, 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 early adopted the Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 41 “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) and 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.
